Hello, Birders.
Here's the complete list of birds seen by folks at the 2011 Colorado Field
Ornithologists' convention, held May 20th-23rd in Grand Junction. We tallied at
least 202 species--181 species on the main list, plus 21 of those delectable
write-in species. What a fantastic effort:

Cobirders,
The International Piping Plover Census (held every 5 years) extends from
June 5 to 17th, 2011. In Colorado, breeding Piping Plover are generally
confined to the southeastern portion of the state. The following
areas receive coverage by assigned surveyors:
John Martin Reservoir,
Like John Drummond, Urling and I spent the weekend atlasing, in eastern
Colorado. Very few Atlas confirmations, but we added species to all the blocks
that we visited (about 10).
Highlights:
Pewees in almost every patch of trees. We identified one as a likely Eastern
(near Burlington),
The word our birding hobby is reaching the four corners of Colorado,
with a nice article by reporter, Darci Tomky, in the Holyoke Enterprise
of Phillips County.
While I cannot provide a direct link to the article, which includes stunning
photos

It's interesting how fast things can turn over during migration. I
notice that Josh posted Yellow-rumped Warbler- many. By mid-morning
Sunday when we arrived (having birded Norma's Grove early), there
wasn't a single yellow-rump to be found.

Basin Ranch this morning. (I have photos, but nothing like Robb's...)

Hi Colorado Birders
My partner and I are visiting CO this week for some birding. We plan
on spending a day or so at the Pawnee and the remainder of the week
searching for white-tailed ptarmigan and dusky grouse. We were hoping
that CO might be able to provide any helpful hints, strategies, and
Cobirds:
Green heron spotted at Cottonwood Marsh (Walden Ponds) in
Boulder today, right along the boardwalk.
All the major players are back in Boulder County for the
most part. Only things I haven't seen yet are poorwills and
nighthawks.
A couple interesting things of note:

Hello, Birders.
A quick perusal of COBirds reveals at least 30 reports of review species
within the past week. Review species are rare birds for which the Colorado
Bird Records Committee (CBRC) requests documentation of occurrence. Here is a
link to the list of review species for Colorado:
While birding this morning in the Salida area, I found a WORM-EATING
WARBLER at the Frantz Lake SWA. It was in the underbrush up on the hillside
just south of the SWA parking lot. I went back to my car to get my camera.
It took over an hour to refind the WEWA, and then it flew off before
My friend Steve Kingswood and Steve's third grade daughter Ruthi birded Crow
Valley today from 7:30 AM and found in addition to what has already been
reported for May 31 a Nashville Warbler and a nice male MacGillivray's
Warbler. Steve saw his first Colorado Ovenbird. We did not see these
warblers
Hi all,
This afternoon I went to Lake Estes to see if I could find either the Magnolia
Warbler or the American Redstart that were seen there yesterday.
I did not find either one of those, but did find a Bay-breasted Warbler in the
area that we call Pine Point.
Pine Point is the area just past
I am wondering what has happened to the Bank Swallows along HWY 392 north of
the Barnsville curve. There were just a few Swallows flying around the bank
around 3:00 PM and they would not go into the nests. There were no birds in the
nests. When I came back a 5:30PM there were no Bank Swallows.
