[cobirds] Official Response from CPW About Use of State Wildlife Areas

2020-07-10 Thread kevygudguy via Colorado Birds
Hello Fellow Birders, I have received an official response from CPW concerning use of SWAs for birding, hiking, etc.  This came from their Communication Center in response to my inquiry about being allowed onto properties that do not allow fishing, if all I have is a fishing license.  I have

This raises a question about migration 'triggers,' so I'll ask it: I've read in the past that what drives Northbound migrants to start migrating is not the weather, which is too variable, but the number of hours of daylight. That was asserted as the birds' sense of calendar, and it makes

For the past 15 minutes I’ve been watching either two adults and a fledgling or an adult and two fledgling Black Phoebes (and maybe 2 adults too) across Carr Street from the east end of the pond. I’d seen the pond bird catching a few flies near 4 pm and the immediately flying east across the road

I'll just add a couple notes on these "early" shorebirds. They are right on time, like others have noted. The summer solstice is when southbound birds start arriving (yup, June 21 or so). There are always a few birds where you're not sure if they are going south or just didn't go to the arctic

There have been some satellite tagged shorebirds heading south for a few weeks. Just on schedule. As Joe mentioned, they are often birds that failed to nest Because the time frame for nesting in much of their preferred arctic habitat is very short, if a first nest fails the adults often

Although it's hard to be sure, my guess is that those juicy shorebirds were moving SOUTH, having failed at nesting up north somehow. I presume they were adults, but let us know if they were younger, please. Joe Roller, Denver "Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like bananas". On Fri, Jul

Joey Negreann and I also saw a handful of willets at Cherry Creek State Park along with two or more least sandpipers and a western sandpiper. Feels like just yesterday shorebirds were moving north. Mitchell Bailey Arapahoe County -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Two weeks I was camping at Vega Lake State Park and saw 2 Lewis' Woodpeckers. One was on a fence post maybe 10 feet from the dirt road. Also there were a number of Violet-Green swallows, plus a family of Mountain Bluebirds. As a recent transplant to CO, the bluebirds were a special treat. Chris
