hopes of it coming closer. Unfortunately, it never came very close. It was
definitely a Common/Arctic type tern and of the

Birders,
Last evening Mark Chavez and I met up to look for the mountain plover as
light was running out. In the last bit of light we spotted the plover in
the 2 track.

It was too dark to see anything more after that.

16th.

Folks,
Joey Kellner alerted me to a singing Cassin's Sparrow at Chatfield this
morning. The bird is at the beginning of the road to the old Plum Creek nature
area. This is the road just south of the Plum Creek Delta road. He is singing

from the main parking lot, then returning to sit out of sight on a small
island covered with gulls, pelicans and cormorants. I don't

the hogback east of Horsetooth Reservoir), which has been a reliable spot for
Bobolinks for several years. Despite the first cutting of hay
Hi all!
The Tree Swallow females I recaptured in birdboxes this week (in SOS 17 and
SOS 19A) were already wearing bands :)
In SOS 17, bird #2311-50823 was initally banded 6/ 4/2010 as an After Second
Year female in SOS 17 sitting on 6 eggs - in the same box in which she was
recaptured!
In SOS 19A,

JB Hayes and I observed the Cassin's Sparrow at Chatfield this afternoon. I
heard a couple of Grasshopper Sparrows, as well. The Cassin's was more or less
on a line with the South Pay Station when looking WSW from the road that Glenn
referenced. It skylarked repeadedly singing its
About a week ago, my friend Kriss Koff and I went up to Pawnee Grasslands.
Nothing out of the ordinary but we saw some interesting behavior. We were on
the bird trail dirt road [which has all the signs and numbers]. We saw a
McCown's Longspur up ahead diving. We pulled up sort of near the
I have uploaded new images of my website of Ptarmigan and American Dipper.
The Ptarmigan were taken at Mt. Evans. I saw a pairs and 2 individuals. The
pair and 1 individual were at mile marker 5 on each side of the road. The
other individual was also just off the road halfway between Summit Lake
While returning from atlasing in Logan County, Joe Roller discovered three
Black Terns foraging over a modest pond on the west side of Rt 113 north of
Logan County Rd 56.
The terns were not seen at the pond earlier in the day and there is no
assurance that they were in residence.
