Peter Williams, Jay Hutchins and i had a northern waterthrush at Sawhill Ponds
this morning around 10:00 am at the wonderfully birdy southeast corner of the
pond just north of the first Sawhill pond from the parking area. Peter first
heard the bird and thought it was a waterthrush but we were
Hey COBirders,
Banding at Clear Spring Ranch was pretty productive despite North wind gusts,
drizzle at times, and continuing lack of numbers. Diversity was pretty
impressive. Two stories to follow.
21 birds banded of 14 species, mostly local breeders-to-be. Including:
FOY Black-throated Gray
Today we battled wind and a bit of rain, closing and re-opening nets a few
times. While our numbers were still low, one thing was clear: the
Swainson's Thrushes had really moved in overnight. We went from seeing 1 or
2 the past few days to seeing at least 50 in the immediate area today. 13
Going north on the bike path that is just east of the LASP building, within
100 yards you cross a short footbridge over a small stream connecting two
ponds. (A little ways farther north is the Boulder Creek Path.) This
seems to be the usual spot for the waterthrush.

Congratulations to all the COBC teams and their supporters! This has been a
terrific start to what will surely become a highly anticipated annual event
in Colorado. The teams have until 11PM tonight to submit their big day
lists. As a reminder to teams, please remember to share your final,
I live in Breckenridge and I saw a Stellars in one of my trees today. I've
seen a few on video throughout the winter on my deck. What are you putting
out for them? They love peanuts in the shell. I haven't seen a lot but I
have seen them.

Cool! It was fun to watch. It looked like the 7th pelican was younger
because it was out of step and had to keep scrambling to get to where the
fish were.

I drove to the places used for a couple recent ebird checklists for the
Sharp-tailed Grouse "known lek" in PNG (Pawnee, east unit, north). I found
no Grouse or anything that looked like it might be a Lek. Certainly I've
never studied Leks and only know that the birds come out pre-dawn. Photos
