[cobirds] Sharpie with pigeon take, or Cooper's? (El Paso)

2022-05-19 Thread Marty W
Hey, Cobirders, Curious as to your thoughts on this. I'd have thought a pigeon is too big for a Sharpie, and I've had Cooper's (and Goshawks) take pigeons in the yard before... But a female Sharpie and a western male Cooper's aren't much different in size. I see traits of both in the different

2022-05-19 Thread Meredith McBurney
A slightly busier day - out of the teens and into the 20's! Our most interesting captures today were American Redstarts. We have a small but hardy population that breed very close to the banding station. We caught the likely oldest female (banded 2019) on the 13th. Today we caught what I

[cobirds] Mississippi Kite, El Paso County, 5/19

2022-05-19 Thread Chris Selvig
Good afternoon, I looked up while pulling into my driveway in downtown Colorado Springs to see an adult Mississippi Kite soaring overhead, a fairly unusual bird for this part of Colorado. Unmistakable: smallish raptor, pointy wings, grey belly, black wedge-shaped tail. Last seen at about

Slow Bird day today. Maybe the birds know what is coming and high-tailing out of the area. The storm Friday night and Saturday will definitely affect bird migration. Twelve species of bird captured today. *12 New Birds Banded* Wilson's Warbler -1 MacGillivray's Warbler -1 Western 'Cordilleran'

[cobirds] Possible Yellow-throated Warbler - Deer Creek Canyon - Meadowlark Trail - Jefferson County, CO

Hi All, Wish I had more time to observe this bird before it flew off, but I am fairly certain I saw a Yellow-throated Warbler today (5/19) on Meadowlark Trail in Deer Creek Canyon. Definitely saw bold white eyebrow, striking black/white face, and more yellow than a Yellow-Rump Warbler and

Hi Everyone, Spent a good while looking at a nice Olive-sided Flycatcher yesterday evening (5/18) along Clear Creek in Prospect Park. He was sporting a "vest" and remained perched at a treetop for a very long time. Observed by multiple birders. Happy Birding, Gigi -- -- You received

Nathan Pieplow heard the same bird that I reported as a Blue-winged Warbler yesterday. He thought it best to call it a Blue-winged/Golden-winged Warbler, because the two species hybridize. Neither one of us saw it! Paula Hansley Boulder County -- -- You received this message because you are
