[cobirds] Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Boulder County

I led a DFO trip yesterday and we hiked from the South Mesa trailhead up Towhee Trail where we found a small flock of birds, which included two gnatcatchers and one Ruby-crowned Kinglet, which was singing continuously as it followed us up the trail. Not much else due to the WIND. Paula Hansley

[cobirds] Cooper's Hawk

My non-birding neighbors have been telling me for several days that a hawk has been sitting in a tree in my front and side yards. Well, I finally saw it-- a Cooper's Hawk currently sitting in the maple tree by my back patio. I hope the thrush and sparrow got out in one piece! Paula Hansley

[cobirds] Wood Thrush, Louisville, Boulder Co.

To my knowledge, the thrush was not seen yesterday. I have not seen it yet this morning. PLEASE do not get out of your cars and stand in the street or in my driveway talking! If you get out, use the car as a blind, but be quiet. I can hear you in the house...so I am sure the thrush can, too.

[cobirds] Wood Thrush here NOW!

The thrush is under my catalpa tree in front with juncos, sparrows and finches pecking in the leaves around my bushes. All are welcome. Please e-mail for directions. Paula Louisville 720-890-2628 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds

At about 2:30 this afternoon, I had a mixed flock of Black-capped Chickadees and one Common Bushtit. This is the first one I have seen in my neighborhood (about 1/2 mi. east of the Louisville Rec. Center and ~3/4 mi. east of MacCaslin Blvd.). Paula Hansley

[cobirds] Snowy Owl

had been there at least since 8 am. While we were watching, the owl alternately preened, stretched, yawned once, and slept, indicating he was fairly relaxed! He even ignored (or didn't see or was full) a rabbit that ran below him. This owl is so incredibly white! Paula Hansley Louisville

One last note on this subject: According to two of my warbler books, the female Am Redstart is known to sing. How often she sings is unknown. I forgot to mention in my last post that the juvenile male redstart doesn't attain adult (orange) plumage until after its second molt. Paula Hansley
