the March 1992 male Garganey).I saw the PAIR of Garganeys on 1996 April 24 --

Hi everyone,
eBird shows three occurrences of Garganey for Colorado – 1990 (Jackson Res,
Morgan Cty), 1992 and 1996 (both at Sombrero Marsh, Boulder Cty). The '90
and '92 records are reflected in the official CBRC documentation, but there
appears to be none for the 1996 occurrence. And there
I have a small flock of Yellow headed-blackbirds on the southeast shore of
Highland Lake near Mead, in Weld County.
These are the first that I have observed at the lake in probably 30 years. They

Correction to my earlier post, there are only two previously documented records
of this species in the state. This will be the third once everyone submits
their sightings to the Colorado Bird Records Committee.

According to my eBird track, it is a 0.62 mile walk north from the
northernmost parking lot inside the state park, and it took me 11 minutes
to get here. Scope views are excellent.

Folks, I am seeing a bunch of birders at the north end of Boyd Lake who
drove into the subdivision on the NE side, parked, and walked down to the
water. But unless someone got special permission from the landowners, I
think we should NOT view the Garganey this way.

Note that this is only the second documented record in the state of this
species. Mother’s Day picnic at Boyd Lake anyone?

While not super rare around here, I have TWO male rose-breasted grosbeaks in my
yard in Littleton this morning. One is singing away! I could get better audio
recordings if the kids could be quiet for a minute. Ha!
The grosbeak is a new yard bird and a new all time Green Bird (#306, I think).
Wonderful! I would love to go with you all some time. Also if you want to do
your Como survey let me know I would love to go with you again. I just spent
all day yesterday in Arapahoe County with the CFO birding day, no surprises
(lots of wind) but nice to be out and a number of FOS species.
