[cobirds] Painted bunting -- yes (Jeffco)

After circling the Audubon Nature Center for 90 minutes, I saw the painted bunting at 4:30 pm and learned two lessons: 1. The bird showed up only after I threatened aloud to leave in five minutes. Pretty sure I could have saved a lot of time if I'd issued my threat earlier. What a glorious bird.

[cobirds] Three toed woodpecker, Boulder (?) county

I saw a three toed woodpecker at Pawnee campground at Brainard lake last evening at about 8pm. He was at campsite 31. Post late because I didn’t have WiFi until now. I was disappointed that I didn’t see any Canada jays or Clark’s nutcrackers. I did hear hermit thrushes, saw crossbills a

[cobirds] Re: Painted Bunting food

The Audubon Nature Center painted bunting was present on and under the benches west of the southernmost building from about 1:14 to 1:30 p.m. Before the bird came, I checked out what seed was left, and it was all shelled sunflower and milo, no white millet. With my bins, I could see him eating

[cobirds] Re: if you are still at all curious about my Boulder phoebe saga...

Linda, I too had the experience this year of late-arriving Say's Phoebes in a Boulder County spot where I regularly see them. They are a usual species seen at my Burrowing Owl monitoring site for Boulder County Parks & Open Space (BCPOS), a prairie dog colony and former pasture in SE Boulder Co

[cobirds] Weld County Wanderings

Hi all Saturday ... Weld CR 61/74, Weld CR 59 marsh ponds (just south of Hwy 34), Woods Lake on north, playas at Weld CR 122/77 and 116/77, and Weld CR 94/37 gravel pit all have exposed shorelines and sandbar now. Best bets for shorebirds at the moment. Latham and Beebe-areas bone dry. These wa

[cobirds] Red crossbills, Louisville

CObirders, Seven chipping Red crossbills just flew over my house (I heard them first while sitting in my living room). They briefly landed in a neighbor’s ponderosa before flying south towards Coal Creek. I have been hearing them for several weeks, but this is the first time I’ve seen the floc
