[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 4/30/17

We arrived about 8:30 this morning, to see what was possible after the storm. We dealt with the impact of lots of wet snow - broken tree branches (and in one place an entire tree down across the path), wet and muddy trails, several nets buried in the snow, and all of them frozen shut. We had

[cobirds] Re: Black-throated grey warbler still on Boulder Creek, Green Heron on the ponds near Foothills Parkway

After I posted this, someone contacted me to let me know that access to the ponds along Foothills Parkway is restricted. There are signs indicating this within that area, but there is a main path that is marked as allowing pubic access which runs through the middle of that general area. I WAS

[cobirds] Gray Flycatcher fallout in Canon City, Fremont Co. 4/29

Yesterday, three of us saw an amazing number of Gray Flycatchers, pushed down to Canon City, by the weather. We ended up counting 27 Gray Flycatchers, seen from 4 different locations in Canon City. This species breeds in the pinyon juniper woodlands of Fremont County, though all of the 27 we saw

[cobirds] Re: Ketring Park today (empid ID help wanted)

Ben S, I find myself wanting to call the first bird a Dusky due to the long tail and not so very stunningly long primary projection. Head shape, bill color, eye-ring, etc are often similar in Dusky and Hammond's. For your second bird I am agreeing with Gray Flycatcher. On Sunday, April 30,

[cobirds] Re: Ketring Park today (empid ID help wanted)

Okay, so all empids species were flagged. I thought, the last April is a bit early, but May 7th or so most would not be flagged. I checked and most empids have already been reported in Colorado this year. As for Hammonds, this looks like it would be the first for 2017 in Colorado, possibly the

[cobirds] Ketring Park today (empid ID help wanted)

Went to Ketring Park this afternoon. Noteworthy species included a male Ring-necked Duck, Swainson's Hawk, possible Broad-winged Hawk (only seen briefly from a distance), likely nesting pair of House Wrens, and two Myrtle's Yellow-rumped Warblers, and two empidonax flycatchers. I would greatly

[cobirds] White-eyed Vireo at Jackson State Park, Morgan County

On a DFO field trip to Jackson State Park, a White-eyed Vireo was gleaning with a large group of Yellow-rumped (mostly Myrtle) Warblers in Russian Olives. There were also several small groups of Cedar Waxwings. Choppy water made viewing the reservoir challenging, and there was little shore for

[cobirds] Common Loon, Spring Park Resr, Eagle Cty

Hi all Linda Vidal led a group to Spring Park reservoir this lunchtime. Thank-you Linda Most impressive were the Swallows (mainly Tree) in similar numbers to yesterday – of the order of around 10,000 I would estimate. A few Barn Swallows were the only other swallow species identified Also of

[cobirds] Black-throated grey warbler still on Boulder Creek, Green Heron on the ponds near Foothills Parkway

Saw the posts about the Black-throated Grey Warbler and figured that would be a good spot to walk this morning. Starting from the Arapahoe bridge, the Dipper was hanging out under the bridge, and it stopped for a few minutes to groom, which allowed me to get some pretty good looks. Heading up

[cobirds] Bluebirds on the move El Paso Co.

While outside for about an hour I had 4 different groups of bluebirds (about 15 total) flying overhead near the west side of Powers Blvd. Last 2 groups were Mountain BBs as I did not see any hint of orange on them. They are fighting a strong head wind today to head north. Kathy Miller Colo

[cobirds] Bird rehabilitator, Douglas County

I rescued a chipping sparrow from a road in our neighborhood. It can't fly but has no apparent injuries. Anybody know of a rehabber in the Denver area? Apologies if this is not the right forum for this question. I won't be able to care for the bird after a few days. Thanks, John Ealy

To All of you intrepid observers, It has been too long... What a day!?! I left Fort Collins at 1pm with a heading that could be construed as having a serious eastern bent hoping that I might run in to a few shorebirds...Shorebirds that would at least measure to my knees. So on that note, I
