Thanks for the report, Scott. How amazing to know that California Gulls might live that long. What a fortunate recovery. Best, Pam Piombino On Mon, Sep 16, 2019 at 9:47 AM Scott wrote: > Hi Everyone.. > > As many of you know Dr. Ron Ryder passed away a number of years ago. > > Since his

[cobirds] owls

Hi everyone, We are beginning  our annual fall owl banding project were we are capturing and banding both Boreal and Northern Saw-whet Owls. The research is in conjunction with Project Owlnet  which is a nation-wide project that targets these species. It is a good chance to see these owls

[cobirds] Gracklepalooza, Arapahoe county

Yesterday, around nine in the morning, more than 50 grackles took over the joint for about 15 minutes and then swooped out. It was very dramatic and noisy! I’m down to one hummingbird here which I think is the Calliope female or youngster. I still have more than a hundred cormorants

[cobirds] gull

Hi Everyone.. As many of you know Dr. Ron Ryder passed away a number of years ago. Since his passing I have been receiving his band recoveries from the banding laboratory. I just received a band recovery of one of his California Gulls that he banded on 9/16/1984  in Colorado and it was just

[cobirds] Canada Geese and Power Lines at Plate River, Arapahoe County

While walking along my patch along the South Platte River near Hudson Gardens I watched a group of six Canada Geese flying over the river. There is a point there where three power lines cross the river. The majority were flying high enough to go over, but the last two where to low. Rather then

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chico Basin Ranch, 9/16/19

Unfortunately the weather wasn't very cooperative today. After a promising start, a strong breeze suddenly began within an hour and a half of open nets, and caused us to quickly shut things down. We still managed to catch a few birds, with 15 newly-banded individuals and 2 recaptures, of 5

[cobirds] Sabine’s gulls - Chatfield swim beach

There were 3 immature Sabine’s off the swim beach this morning. Probably continuing birds recently reported, but they are a fan favorite (for me anyway). I got lucky and one flew in and landed on the swim beach not too far away and bathed and preened for a minute. There were also 4 red-necked

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Grand Valley Audubon Station, 9/16/19

The first day of banding at our GVAS station got off to a slow start, with 10 new birds of 6 species. Most of these birds appeared to be residents and were still in active molt, so it is probable that migration isn't quite in full swing here yet. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 1 Wilson's Warbler 2
