[cobirds] Mississippi Kites - El Paso County

Happy Friday everyone, I want to provide some information about Mississippi Kites in El Paso County. I guess you could say that this bird is my 'spark' bird. In 2011, I noticed some birds nesting across the street from my house that I'd never seen before. Lovely, graceful birds and rather vo

[cobirds] Re: Question: What Are Colorado's Top 10 Rare Birds Seen This Year?

I was going to mention the two already mentioned. Although I think it is said they're not ABA countable, what about that this past summer we had not one, but two, California Condors making their way into Colorado - one of them over the mountains into Black Forest, El Paso County? On Monday, De

[cobirds] Clark's Nutcrackers, Garden of the Gods

My friend and I walked about 8 miles round trip up the Rampart Range Road from Garden of the Gods today. We saw many Clark's Nutcrackers - about 25 - flying in group of 3-15 and busy getting nuts from the trees. They seemed to be spending a fair amount of time in and around the Waldo Canyon bur

[cobirds] Re: Cobirds vs Ebird Reporting

I also wonder how many people know about CObirds? There are a lot of birders not subscribed to this or any other group. CObirds seems to me kind of like an "insider" thing that only people in certain circles know about, and that many are likely to assume is only for use by experts or highly

With help from Mel Goff and Beth Payne, I saw the three scoter species continuing at Prospect Lake, Memorial Park, Colorado Springs: Black Scoter, White-winged Scoter and Surf Scoter. Surf and white-winged were toward the north end and the Black Scoter was more toward the south end. Lake is n

Hello, I initially reported the breeding pair of Mississippi Kites last year near Watson Jr. High in Security. They had two young. They returned this year on May 6th and while she isn't on it all the time, the same nest seems to be in play. I am now wondering if there may be a colony of Mississip
