[cobirds] Morning Doves Galore

This is not about a Snowy Owl or a Harris's Hawk, but it is about Morning Doves. I know the number of Doves I have had in my yard is no big deal if one is living in Southern Colorado, but I have had more Morning Doves than usual in my yard this winter. They arrived in pairs before 11/15. On

[cobirds] Pueblo birds 1/6 (White-winged Crossbill, Prairie Warbler, and more)

My plan was to bird with my uncle Van Truan, for a little while at Pueblo Reservoir, we saw adult *Mew Gull* in the pool below the dam around 8am, then went to South Shore Marina at Pueblo Reservoir. Lots of birds from here, including: *Great Black-backed*, and *Lesser Black-backed Gulls* on the

[cobirds] John Martin Reservoir, Bent County

Birders, I made a short visit to John Martin Reservoir today, my first since the CBC on December 14th. I can report that unlike in December, the reservoir is packed with an amazing number and diversity of birds. Viewing conditions have iproved greatly now that the reservoir is about 80

[cobirds] Re: White-winged Crossbill Pueblo County

Nearly 30 people have seen this bird. It likes the spruce comes in the middle of the cemetery. Hope it is present tomorrow, I think it should be. Great find David. Sometimes feeding near Red-breasted Nuthatches. The call it gives the most is similar to a Red-breasted Nuthatch. Brandon K.

Re: [cobirds] Anyone seen the Harris's hawk lately?

Mark Obmascik and I went in search of the bird on Friday morning 1/5 at its previous location, the area in and around the Colorado Welcome Center in Larimer Co. We struck out. A local whom we encountered in the parking lot said he believed the bird had moved on. We can't argue differently, and I

[cobirds] Anyone seen the Harris's hawk lately?

All - while bicycling past Carson Nature Center in Littleton today at 10:45 a.m., I saw a very red and brown hawk land in a cottonwood on the west side of the Platte River. I saw a very strong, horizontal white tail-bar when it flared, and I immediately thought "Harris's hawk". Of course, it

[cobirds] El Paso county Red breasted sapsucker and varied thrush both present his morning as of about 11 am

The varied thrush was near the parking lot for the Starsmore center and moving around a fair amount. The sapsucker was in its favorite tree. I was lucky enough to get a good picture of the thrush, really a good looking bird.

Re: [cobirds] Re: YB Loon still at S Platt Res , Arapahoe

Hi all - I'm planning on heading down to the reservoir this afternoon after I get off work. I've never been there, but looking at google maps etc. it looks large and not easily accessible. Also, there isn't any info on viewing spots for this reservoir on the Colorado County Birding website. Where

[cobirds] White-winged Crossbill Pueblo County

Hi all, I found a White-winged Crossbill in Mountain View Cemetery, Pueblo today, apparently a first for the county. The western part of this cemetery is quite literally a forest of large spruce trees with a bounty of cones, so the bird could potentially stay for a while. 7+ birders have

[cobirds] Re: YB Loon still at S Platt Res , Arapahoe

Got great views of him on the south-central part of the res around 8 AM! In other news, I got a female Barrow's Goldeneye along the platte river, and 20 Greater Scaups, as well as a *potential Krider's Red-tailed Hawk* on a power pole near Ladybug Lake. I didn't get any pictures, but I would

[cobirds] Teller country Rosy Finches follow-up

Today, I headed back to the same spot I found the Rosy Finches on Wednesday - this time with my camera. I was hoping for an easy find, given that I found them on what appeared to be a feeding station in someone's yard that they seemed to like. No such luck. I drove all of CR 861 and 5 miles,

[cobirds] Re: YELLOW-BILLED LOON - South Platte Park Reservoir - Arapahoe County

Joey (and others): could you check out my post http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S41661902 and see if you think this is the same bird? I was there after 4:00 today and concluded it was Common (mainly because how rare a Yellow-billed would be), but one of my photos especially suggests
