[cobirds] Worm-eating Warbler in Loveland
Late this afternoon, Georgia Doyle and Denise Brettinger found a Worm-eating Warbler near the High Plains Environmental Center in Loveland, CO. The bird was in some willows where the trail from the center intersects the trail that circles Equalizer Lake, about 100 m SW of the Center's barn. Nick Komar and I were there by 6:30 PM and saw the bird after 20 minutes of searching. We watched it until 7:30 PM. The bird was foraging low. We never saw it higher than 5' off the ground. The nasty weather tonight may keep it in place, so it'd be worth searching for it tomorrow morning. I posted some photos on Colorado Field Ornithology Good luck, Walter Wehtje Fort Collins -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Bobolinks, Pella Crossing; Black-bellied Plover, Lagerman, Boulder Co
The previously reported Bobolinks continue at Pella Crossing. One rendered a spectacular long singing flight. A single Black-bellied Plover (continuing?) was at Lagerman Reservoir where there was also a Clark’s Grebes well as a few Westerns.

[cobirds] Night Birds in Roosevelt NF
The snipes are courting in the Coughlin Meadows area in Roosevelt National Forest, 8.5 miles up Sugarloaf Road from Boulder Canyon, 2500 m altitude (i.e montane). They are still most active after dark but I expect to be able to watch them soon. Saw-whet owls are calling between midnight and dawn in the same area. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Re: 2 Bitterns, Sawhill/Walden
When I was growing up in New Hampshire, old-timers called this bird "stake-driver". At the right distance, the call sounded like "*oonk*-ka- *oonk*". The "oonks" sound like a distant sledge hammer hitting a wooden stake, but I don't know what the "ka" was thought to be. I haven't heard this call in Colorado, so I will be there at 0700 tomorrow. Thanks for the post.

[cobirds] Bobolinks (Larimer)
Two male bobolinks north of Reservoir Ridge Trail in private hayfield north of Trail going e-w from Overland Trail parking lot. The actual spot was roughly due north of the big plum thicket that engulfs the fence line near the elevated red tank on private side of fence.

[cobirds] 2 Bitterns, Sawhill/Walden
Enjoyed watching and listening to two American bitterns at Sawhill/Walden, between 7:15 and 7:50 this morning. The song always reminds me of an old-fashioned hand pump or perhaps broken plumbing. I've been hearing it occasionally in the area since May 5, but today was the first time I saw the birds, stretched out, beaks pointed skyward (except when singing). --Kit Basom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

[cobirds] Black-chinned Hummingbird, Larimer
Have been out of town a few days, but this morning I had a male black-chinned hummer coming to my feeders, not a ‘regular’ yard bird for me at all at my home near Horsetooth Mountain Park. Also back, Orioles and BH Grosbeaks in my yard, among the numerous lazuli buntings and other already reported arrivals. Love spring!
