[cobirds] Birding the Front Range tomorrow

Good evening, all, With tomorrow being a holiday, my guess is that there will be numerous birders our looking for some of our current Front Range “finds”. I know my wife and I will be doing so. The weather forecast, however, for tomorrow isn’t as “pleasant” as today (snow showers starting in

[cobirds] Pueblo Reservoir Snowy Owl 1/14 afternoon update

Lots of people have been enjoying the scope views of the Pueblo Reservoir Snowy Owl all day today. There has been a traffic jam at the Quail Run Picnic Area parking lot, off and on all day. I haven't been there all day, though, every time I come by there, there are lots of people, thrilled to

[cobirds] Re: Snowy Owl at Standley Lake

Am thinking about making the 200 mile drive up tomorrow (Monday) to see this bird if it is still around. If anyone has details about where it is known to hang out, I would appreciate any information you could lend. Street addresses? Park? etc. Thank you. John Rawinski Monte Vista, CO On

[cobirds] Sage Thrasher, Cheyenne Mountain State Park, El Paso County

Jenyva Fox and I saw a Sage Thrasher on Zook Trail just after the main Trailhead log post before the bridge this morning around 10am. It was running back and forth along the the trail hunting. I posted photos on my ebird account. Hopefully this link will work eBird Checklist – Cheyenne

[cobirds] Re: South Platte Rez county line and eBird

Hey all, This is another great example where eBird reporting guidelines and ABA report guidelines don’t perfectly mesh. Strictly speaking, according to ABA guidelines Scott’s original post is correct. Standing in the SW corner of South Platte Res. and viewing the YBLO which is in the Arapahoe

[cobirds] Re: South Platte Rez county line and eBird

Hi Scott and all, About eBird lists and county lines, I'm pretty sure that you are supposed to submit the checklist reflecting where YOU were birding from, NOT where the bird was. So if you were standing in JeffCo, you are supposed to submit the bird under a checklist from JeffCo, at least if

[cobirds] Re: Snowy Owl at Standley Lake

Yes! He was perched on a rooftop in a local neighborhood for most of the morning. I left around 12:30. On Saturday, January 13, 2018 at 4:40:24 PM UTC-7, dpd wrote: > > Anybody seen it today? > > Dan Dietrich > Firestone, CO > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

[cobirds] Pueblo Reservoir 1/13

I birded the North Marina area of Pueblo Reservoir yesterday morning. The possible highlight was what I am fairly certain was a juvenile Broad-Winged Hawk; it was briefly glimpsed flying straight away and I did not get a photograph. A small, greyish buteo, light-colored beneath the tail.

[cobirds] Kiowa Yesterday: Purple Finch, Snow Bunting, Field Sparrow

Greetings All After my original plans for yesterday were scotched, I decided to start my day at John Martin Which was shrouded in dense, cold fog. I tried a bit of land birding, with no success, and the fog was still hanging around at 9:30. Hearing from Janeal Thompson that there was some

[cobirds] South Platte Rez county line and eBird

All, As there's been a lot of birding at S Platte Res over the last couple weeks, I thought I'd make a couple comments about where the county line is and how to properly report birds in eBird. See link below and zoom in on S Platte Res to see that the county line crosses the reservoir such

[cobirds] Snowy Owl back at South Shore Marina tires 1/14

The Pueblo Reservoir Snowy Owl is back at South Shore Marina tires (look behind the boats, from Quail Run parking lot) after being in a different part of the park the last two days. Hopefully the boat traffic doesn't bother it on this weekend day. Hopefully people can scope it from a distance
