This is not concerning meadowlarks. In the same vein,however, a friend of mine
who lives in Aurora and has fed crows for years and years. Last year I was
there in fall and they had a late flock of >30 grackles and blackbirds, in
addition to her numerous crows.
This year, she has had one
in my walks through Cherry Creek State Park, I’d say I saw pretty much the
“normal contingent” of meadowlarks — maybe slightly less than last year.

Denver Audubon received a note from an observer in Central Park, who says that
she hasn't encountered Meadowlarks this year. We Cobirders do well in posting
what we do see, but not so well in discussing what we don't see.
As far as our patch here in Franktown (Douglas) we have about the normal
Numbers up just a bit today with 42 birds banded, and a nice mix of
species. A lovely hatch-year Nashville Warbler was my favorite of the
morning:
Western Wood-Pewee 5
Least Flycatcher 1
Hammond's Flycatcher 1
Dusky Flycatcher 1
Warbling Vireo 1
House Wren 4
Nashville Warbler 1
Yellow Warbler
I just compared our August 2021 records with those for the last 3 years.
This year we saw no Western Bluebirds, and only a few Mountain Bluebirds. Also
only a few Tree Swallows; in 2018 we had lots of swallows of several races,
though not in then next two years.

COBirders,
I'm sure you've seen some of the trip reports from last weekend's CFO
Shorebird Field Trips including the phenomenal reports from David
Tonessen's visits to John Martin Reservoir. *CFO is hosting six more field
trips this weekend and there are still a few spots open if you're
Hello CO Birders,
I had the pleasure once again of leading a CFO shorebirding field trip to
Prewitt Reservoir (Washington County) on Sunday.
Saturday night's frontal passage encouraged many birds to depart but not
arrive at this site (compared to the two previous days). Don't get me
wrong, there
We started setting up nets here at Chico Basin Ranch yesterday, and were
amazed at the amount of vegetation we had to clear out. Net lanes that are
usually shin-high with vegetation instead had seasonal growth that towered
over my head! I'm hearing it was the wettest spring and summer out here
David,
Thank you so much for leading our very successful trip. It was my first
time at John Martin Reservoir. I learned a lot and plan to go back.
Here is a photo I took on Saturday that captures our adventure.

Hello birders,
This is a late post due to my schedule but over the weekend of 8/28 - 8/29,
five of us were out on each day birding John Martin Reservoir and
surrounding area thanks to the Colorado Field Ornithologists initiating
field trips as part of their ongoing shorebird theme. The mission
in the past i was able to record bird song using the merlin app or
birdnet app on my Samsung phone, send the recording to my email and
ultimately attach the bird ID recording to an ebird checklist accessed on
my desktop computer. recently, for some reason, the apps capture the
bird song,
Hello everyone,
I've been seeing a type of gull fly over SE Fort Collins for a few nights
in a row now. They're heading south, and seem to be eating insects or
something higher up (can't get a good look at them). Does anyone know what
they are? I'm guessing they're migrating south somewhere?
