RE: [cobirds] Joe Roller

Cobirders, Thanks to Bill for keeping Joe in our memories. Don't forget there is a way to help keep Joe in our memories in perpetuity (as well as in Denver, Pueblo, Grand Junction...) by making a pledge for the 2021 Joe Roller Memorial Green Big Year. The proceeds from the big year pledges

Found this bird at Rocky Mountain Arsenal Refuge yesterday and can ID it. Looks like a meadowlark in size but not as thin and coloring is wrong. Any ideas? https://app.box.com/s/z9c0lt5q1izamh4rl9akh18dimx61hip Gary Bowen Thornton, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed

[cobirds] Fw: Owl knocks Eagle off nest

Here's a pretty amazing video of a Great-horned Owl knocking the $#X@#*& out of a Bald Eagle on a nest . . . this was on the KS List-serve a couple of weeks ago . . . Farmer Derek is in Marion County, KS, and has installed an eagle cam at a nest on his land . . . FYI.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Aggressive Owl in Superior

Just a bit more background on this situation in case anyone is interested. I live pretty close to where the incidents happened. At least three groups of people have had a GHO swoop down at them after sunset in residential neighborhoods. In at least two cases, the owl hit a child in the head hard

[cobirds] Re: On singing American Dippers

Went to Morrison today to see if I could find a singing dipper. (Hwy 74 is closed, so I couldn't go up to Lair o'the Bear). Found a dipper at the entrance to Morrison Park (right by the gauging structure). He did a fair amount of "zeet"s and once uttered the start of a song. I was able to

Agree. Seems better to let it be. Maybe warn hikers of that situation. John Rawinski Monte Vista, CO On Tuesday, February 2, 2021 at 12:52:49 PM UTC-7 teheinr...@gmail.com wrote: > This article in Boulder’s Daily Camera about an owl (Great Horned, I > presume) caught my attention: > > >

[cobirds] Status of Overlook at Rawhide Energy Station n of Ft Collins

FYI, after driving up the Hamilton Reservoir a couple times in recent weeks and finding the Overlook closed, I decided to call ahead today. I was told the resident bison herd knocked the fence down bordering the Overlook and that these animals currently have access to it. Thus, the closure.
