COBIrders,
*TL;DR (Too long; didn't read):* I don't know why the Hudsonian Godwits
showed up today in Boulder County, but I wanted to let you know some things
about numerical weather models that make them not always the best way to
answer the bird migration question I often pose on COBIRDS. There
Highlights today (late afternoon) in the rain:
*Red-necked Phalarope (1f breeding, maybe 2) south shore, FOY for me, seems
7-10 days early for northern Front Range
Wilson's Phalarope (3)
Peregrine Falcon (flyover)
Savannah Sparrow (10+ along the south and west sides in the weeds)
Vesper Sparrow
These were still visible this afternoon along with a ton of other
shorebirds. I counted five Black-Necked Stilts and got the red exclamation
point from eBird for a high count. Really nice birding if you can stand the
wet and cold.

Hello Fellow Birders, Today a lone (so far) Chipping Sparrow has joined the
finchian flocks at the feeders in my little townhouse yard near Holly &
Arapahoe in west Centennial. Last year I had a pair mating here on May 11th,
perhaps this is one of them... Keep Smilin',Kevin Corwin west
Sometime yesterday someone, I don't know who but thank you, found a
Blue-winged Warbler at the same place were the Yellow-crowned Night-heron
was. The bird was staying high up in the the trees gleaning with
Yellow-rumped Warblers. Me and several others saw it about 9:50 today in
light rain.
We have our group for May 6. I hope to offer other opportunities this spring.

This morning while listening to a couple of Spotted Towhees singing on
territory at Ridgway State Park, I heard another towhee start singing a
"drink your tea" song, suggesting an Eastern Towhee. I don't know if it
was an Eastern Towhee, a confused Spotted Towhee, or maybe a hybrid because
This is truly incredible. eBird's previous high count for the species in
Colorado was 4, nearly 40 years ago.

A great option to suggest to friends that don't want to construct anything
themselves is to purchase the Acopian Bird Savers already made for your
problem windows!

Interesing behavior. I'd not heard of that. I've had really good luck
with decals on the windows to keep the bird strikes down. Something like
these:

Wow! What an amazing thing to see! I’ve always wondered how these types of
birds survive hail. I know that hail can kill larger birds like the pelicans
killed at a lake in Colorado. Does anyone remember that terrible hail storm
that killed so many pelicans?
