[cobirds] Gray flycatcher and American redstart East CU Campus, Boulder

[cobirds] Two Ponds NWR & Lake Arbor, JeffCo

I don't recall ever seeing a report from Two Ponds on the list, so I thought I'd share one. The entrance off 80th (East entrance) leads to the actual ponds; the two sides of the Refuge are not connected. I just birded the east side. I mostly saw the usual suspects, but was somewhat surprised by a

[cobirds] did not jinx myself: yardbird 109 in Bldr Cnty: N. Mockingbird

Hi folks-- Wrote yesterday that the delightful evening serenade of the Swainson's thrush was not #109 after all; but then this morning while my spouse & I weeded and tended the bees, I heard a very unusual song from the hilltop nearby (where I often hear good birds: last year it was a

[cobirds] Re: Mystery birds and juv Horned Larks

Your note solved another identification mystery for me. I was birding last week in snow-covered SE Wyoming. There were many birds sitting on the back roads because of the snow (and it was hard to pull off the road to get a good look at them). The majority were small brown sparrow-like birds with

[cobirds] Magnolia Warbler, Boulder, Boulder Co.

I found a Magnolia Warbler, I think it is an immature male, on the goat trail or hotspot "Hawthorne Gulch". I submitted an ebird report with pictures and the second report has a description. Trailhead is at the end of Hawthorn Ave in Boulder. Hike up the trail to the pump house and it was in

[cobirds] Veery at CU East Campus

Cobirders, At around 5:30 this evening, while looking for the Redstart and Gray Flycatcher Dave Ely reported earlier, I heard and then saw a Veery that was on the other side of the creek. It was actively feeding both near the ground as well as in the mid-canopy of the cottonwoods. It was up
