[cobirds] Re: Anna's Hummingbird YES, Boulder County

[Frank Farrell]

I'd like to also thank Alison Sheets for the gracious opening of her yard 
to many birders including myself to see a special bird species and to be 
able to meet new and interesting birders and to also see some familiar 
faces.  She's a value to the birding community!  (Was there in the morning 
and also a return visit around 4 pm).

[cobirds] Car break-in Riverbend Ponds Larimer Co

[Robert Righter]

Hi

A SUV was broken into at the parking lot at River Bend Ponds Natural Area east 
of Fort Collins. The back, side window was busted in and according to the lady 
occupant they got her hand bag, containing wallet, ID money, driver license, 
phone, the works. She had no ID indicating who she was!

Just recently Hugh Kingery reported a break in at Wheat Ridge Greenbelt. So 
there seems to be a trend occurring with break ins at recreational-birding 
area's parking lots.

This happened to me while birding in Moss Landing, California several years 
ago. Apparently not all the surfers on top to the sand dunes were looking for 
the perfect wave, others were looking for more lucrative opportunities.  Lost 
new Lieca scope and new fancy tripod, My wife lost her hand bag containing two 
much money, driver’s license  binocs— the works

Please be aware when birding of all parking lots.

[cobirds] Marbled Godwit at Boulder Res

[Paul Barchilon]

 
Saw a Marbled Godwit at the north western end of the reservoir, where the 
mudflats have become extensive.  I have seen them in California before, 
otherwise I wouldn't have known what it was.  


 



And are these Greater Yellowlegs?

Bob, Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much we can do about thugs
breaking into locked vehicles except maybe aftermarket alarms with sirens,
and make sure you leave everything you are not going to carry with you at
home.

[cobirds] Re: Mountain Plover & Upland Sandpiper

[Carl Bendorf]

Hello Robyn & Maarten,

Perhaps this will help a bit.  If you look at the eBird reports for both 
species, you will see there are some clusters of records for both Mountain 
Plover and Upland Sandpiper in Colorado.  If you start at this link, you 
can enter the species name at the top left, adjust the Date with the 
dropdown menu to select May through June, and then enter either Colorado, 
USA or Colorado Springs, CO, USA for the location.  You can then zoom in on 
the map to see individual sightings and click on the sightings to get 
details.  Here is a link to the basic eBird species map form:  
https://ebird.org/map/uplsan?neg=true=-108.153134840625=36.976018398489124=-100.242978590625=39.871603457177656=true=true=Z=on=5=6=all=1900=2018

Another option is to visit 
https://coloradocountybirding.org/Specialties.aspx and use the drop down 
menu to select the species and see some tips on places to find them.

You will enjoy your visit to Colorado!

Re: [cobirds] Car break-in Riverbend Ponds Larimer Co

[Eric DeFonso]

About a decade ago I was birding in Fort Collins at Dixon Reservoir when my
truck got broken into. Fortunately for me I had little of real value for
anyone to steal - they did take my car stereo faceplate, but then more
amusingly they rifled through my glovebox and only stole a set of my bird
song CDs.

I think the thieves got away with my Stokes Eastern Bird Songs set. So if
some guy in a trenchcoat propositions you to buy a hot set of sparrow and
warbler songs, at least you'll know where that came from.

By my calculation, this may be the 4th state record of Joe Roller leaving
