A warbler morning. Added 2 new species for the season - an Audubon's
Yellow-rumped Warbler and a Chestnut-sided Warbler, only the 4th CSWA ever
caught at Barr (the other 3 were in 2011, 1996 and 1993!) A total of 40
new today:
Warbling Vireo 2
House Wren 2
Gray Catbird 1
Orange-crowned
Birders,
About 35 min ago I had 2 birds flying south along the foothills that I
would call Mississippi Kites. They were falcon shaped, gray, larger than
Kestrels, and had the giss of Mississippi Kites.

Had a nice surprise this week when the annual phenomenon of huge numbers of
Yellow-Headed & Red-winged BB's, Starlings and Grackles started at Jim Hamm
Nature Area in Longmont. Was out last weekend (8/25) and had zero RWBB's
and about 400 YHBB. Went out yesterday and saw 3,000+ (?) birds.
Hi all
Lake Loveland has lots of exposed lake bottom in northwest corner with lots
of loafing gulls (hundred or so) which I scanned after lunch at nearby
Artie's Pizza--looked to all be Ring-billed, California and two Franklin's
Gull along with half dozen or so Snowy Egret. Just wanted to pass
The white Ibis continues at Gageby Creek (Van’s Marsh) and Bent County Road JJ

Hi
The main campground area it was quiet. One contributing factor was at a camp
site in middle of prime migrate habitat on the south west side was a large,
Boxer/Mastiff with a ferocious sounding bark, convincing enough to have me
scurrying back to the car, locking the car doors.
In the
Franklin's Gull. They gather in flocks and forage extensively on insects
and worms fattening up for the flight to the west coast of South America.

Hi all:
Well it is looking like peak migration is upon us and there are a LOT of
birds passing through the San Luis Valley. So next Friday, Sept 7th, I will
be leading a birding trip to the Valley hotspots. We will meet at the Monte
Vista refuge Headquarters 6 miles south of Monte Vista on Hwy
Thanks David for forwarding that message.
I have seen this fall gathering of Black Swifts a few times in my 35 years
of record keeping here. Most of the time, I was camped in the South San
Juan mountains and would see large numbers overhead. But I have only seen
these large gatherings once or

COBirders,
Yesterday at Long Pond, Ft. Collins, Larimer County, I shot some video of a
Snowy Egret using bill vibration to hunt fish. This is a known behavior (which
I have never seen before) that is very interesting to watch. You can see the
