[cobirds] Re: Scarlet Tanager, W Buckhorn & deer creek canyon

My mentor John Hayes told me about that area years ago for good birding - and subsequent DFO trips have stopped there. I'm amazed with all the canyon noise of motorcycles and the constant traffic on W. Buckhorn that the birds are attracted to it! Rosanne J Centennial On Monday, June 1, 2020 at

[cobirds] Re: Scarlet Tanager, w. Buckhorn & deer creek canyon hotspot

As a recent retiree of the utility company whose access strip is the one described, my words carry no authority! But I'll say this, having worked that area, and that very spot, for 20 years. We drove our trucks right into that strip of weeds to the boxes in there, without violating the

[cobirds] Hooded Merganser breeding in Colorado / Jeffco (I think)

I believe I read here recently some speculation as to whether Hooded Merganser nests and breeds in Colorado. Forgive me if this isn't news But on a bike ride Sunday on the Bear Creek Trail, between Estes and Kipling (which I'm pretty sure is Jefferson County), we saw a female and one

[cobirds] Virginia's Warblers - Lory SP Larimar

If you are interested in finding Virginia's warblers, I highly recommend Lory State Park. My wife and I spent a day hiking several trails last week. We saw Virginia's warblers in three locations; Well Gulch Trail (half way up). Arthur's Rock Trail (approx. 200 feet up the beginning of the trail

Re: [cobirds] Common Yellowthroat Southwest Variation

Thanks, Nick. Also note the yellow (under chin) wraps around the black mask behind cheek. That and the more olive colored back were my primary clues to ID. You ask if others have seen them - yes, a photographer friend got a pic of one at Walden Ponds in Boulder, about two weeks ago. Gary

[cobirds] The Jefferson Co. Scarlet Tanager(s)

For no reason other than simple curiosity and being a bit of a nerd with an interest in molt, I compared photos of the Scarlet Tanager that was at Harriman Lake from 24-26 May 2020, and the bird found on Deer Creek Canyon and Buckhorn yesterday (31 May 2020), both Jeff Co. They are different

Re: [cobirds] Common Yellowthroat Southwest Variation

Interesting report Gary. I noticed one at Boyd Lake (Larimer) several years ago. I wonder how common these are in Colorado? Have others seen them? Note they have yellow lower belly in place of white. Nick Komar Fort Collins > On Jun 1, 2020, at 12:13 PM, Gary Bowen (Thornton) > wrote: > >

Assuming no one was in immediate danger, I would leave it alone. Otherwise, wait until everyone calms down, get your supplies together and capture it and relocate it (hopefully within 1 to 2 miles). Brenda Beatty Senior Biologist Sedalia From: cobirds@googlegroups.com On
