Re: [cobirds] Snowy Owl/Weld

It doesn't seem like any of the five Snowy Owls this winter in Colorado, stuck around for more than one day (one of the five was found dead, the four alive ones, were one day wonders as far as I know). As far as I know, Snowy Owl is a CBRC review species throughout the state, so if you are lucky

Re: [cobirds] Snowy Owl Pueblo

I stand corrected. Many have informed me that there was a 1970s record by Van Truan of a Snowy Owl in Pueblo county but not at Pueblo Reservoir. So the Snowy Owl is new for Pueblo Reservoir. Joyce Takamine Boulder On Monday, January 8, 2018 at 3:30:05 PM UTC-7, Bill Maynard wrote: > >

The bird is currently being seen just off of 86th Street between Queen and Newcomb. People are in the field watching it. I HIGHLY recommend you do NOT view from the field, as it is perfectly visible from the sidewalk a hundred yards east from Queen Street. Parking on Queen, walking across 86th

Re: [cobirds] Snowy Owl Hunting Habits

Hi all, I just wanted to clarify that while these birds are highly diurnal on their breeding grounds (the far north, where the days are long), many if not all recent studies of wintering birds in the lower 48 show these birds are most active and hunting at night (some over open water, hunting

Birders, Tammy and I were at Stanley at 9 am. Talk to a photog who saw the owl fly high to the NE and over the dam. He had an identifiable flight shot of it so I know it wasn't a gull. It was the owl. We didn't see it when we were there but didn't go below the dam. Ira Sanders Golden On Mon,

I was unable to relocate the bird at 2am when I noticed the eBird alert (I'm staying 4 minutes south of Standley Lake and couldn't resist!), but by then it could have been out in the lake hunting. The roosting geese were pretty noisey. Positive and negative updates on this bird would be much

Here is just an FYI... When Snowy Owls are perched on a high perch like a telephone pole during the day, The bird is hunting, because it is hungry. When Snowies are content they perch on the ground with their eyes almost closed. If anyone goes searching for it and finds it on a high perch such

First, there are more ways to judge photos than ethics. Though there are clearly many variables operating such as type of camera and length of lens, a photographer shooting a sparrow from say 18 feet has a better opportunity (though not necessarily better product) than a photographer shooting the

RE: [cobirds] Snowy Owl: ethics on observation photos

SeEtta makes many valid points here. I personally feel that they can be easily generalized to being applicable to observing and photographing all wildlife, not just birds. As I thought about it, the more I questioned the problem as a basis of lack of education or even skill level. It is true that
