Ted,
I'll take the bait My first reaction was Western Wood-Pewee, but your
recording doesn't exhibit that raspy sound quality they have. So I'll go
with my second reaction, Lesser Goldfinch.
Fun games!!

A new yard bird for us, a White-winged Dove visiting the feeders at our house
in northwest Longmont. Are these starting to get a little more common here in
Colorado?

While unsuccessfully searching for John's Dunlin at Clover Basin, Mary and I
had a brief appearance of a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD. It was along trees and
shoreline next to Nelson Road, on south/southeast corner of the reservoir.

On a casual walk around McIntosh, Mary just spotted 48 Sandhill Cranes feeding
on the N/NW shoreline.
Add to that about 100 golf balls someone felt compelled to hit onto the ice.

Ross's Gull showed up again, around 4:00pm Sunday. Good views from the trail
below the dam. Was seen by many birders still in the area.

Could this loon be in the middle of a late molt? Loons lose their ability to
fly during molts, I believe up to 4-6 weeks.

Greenwood Wildlife Rehab Center (in Longmont) has tended to DC Cormorants.
But I don't think they have the resources to retrieve the injured animals
from the field, instead relying on people to bring them in. Their phone is

Mary and I went back to Union Reservoir Monday evening in search of better
views of this weekends loons, particularly in better weather conditions!
Common Loon and possible Yellow-billed were not to be found. But Walter's
Pacific/Arctic Loon was out in the middle of the reservoir feeding among
and are
not in some intermediate molt?
This bird is worthy of additional looks, when the winds die down a little.

I will comment that when I first saw the plover on Tuesday afternoon,

cottonwood and was found sitting on a nest no more than 30' away from
the goldfinch nest--a Black-chinned Hummingbird. Might be a long

Lagerman Res. with 2 Willet (FOS), 2 White-faced Ibis, 2 Long-billed(?)
Dowitcher's and a host of Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs (we wondered where
they were all hiding today).
Time to call it a day.

Eurasian Wigeon still at Swede Lake. Hanging out on E/NE corner of

Also we see 2 State Patrol cars over on the highway with 7 cars--don't
