Horsetooth Reservoir's south end hosted 5 Lesser Black-backed Gulls, and a juv.
Glaucous Gull was at Horseshoe Lake's northeast corner late Friday afternoon. I
also heard from Cole Wild that two Tundra Swans were at Houtt's Reservoir,
where the Brant continues as well.

Last year, I had 2 Harris's Sparrows from the beginning of December until

To all:
The Prothonotary Warbler was still at Centennial Park as of about 11AM. The
bird was found by walking the loop trail around the lake to the northern
side, and was popping in to feed in some chokecherry bushes in a hollow just
below the blue gazebo there. Great find, Art!

Hi all,
Is there a site that provides a list of the Christmas Bird Counts in
Colorado this year, in chronological order? The Audubon site provides a
really nice map of the Colorado counts, but frustratingly it does not
indicate *when* any of the counts are. I would just like a short, succinct

Pueblo Reservoir:
Long-tailed Duck - 2 (off Sailboard)
White-winged Scoter - 4 (flew from West Fisherman's Point, east, so maybe near
the dam now)
Lesser Black-backed Gull - 1 adult
Pacific Loon - 1 or 2
Common Loon - 5
Below the dam, near the footbridge (along with David Chartier):

Nice find, Art Hudak, on the Prothonotary Warbler.
This is perhaps a cherry on top of the November warbler parade in Colorado,
which by my count now totals at least 13 species (Tennesee, Orange-crowned,
Northern Parula, Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Green, Pine, Palm, Bay-breasted,
Blackpoll,
At least two loons were present at noon at Baseline Reservoir in Boulder, one
Common and one or two Pacific. The loons were seen from Cherryvale looking
east.

Hi all,
My tentative guess is the fruit is European buckthorn. Dave Leatherman, would
you confirm or refute? If it is, do you see a lot of this in Colorado? It’s
unfortunately fairly common where I live. Definitely an invasive exotic, but
birds like the berries and contribute to its spread
Hello birders,
Barb and I headed to the mountains today in search of winter birds. Didn’t

Clark’s Nutcracker, nuthatches, chickadees, house finc
Had a small flock of Eastern Bluebirds stop by the yard today. Such a lovely

Yes, European Buckthorn. I agree that is what all the pics people have been
sending seem to show the bird is eating. Yes, it is widely planted, and yes,
it escapes, gets spread, definitely deserves the moniker of "invasive exotic".
