[cobirds] Swan along 95th Street, Boulder Co.

Hi all, My brother and I just observed a swan resting among a flock of geese on the pond W of N 95th St. and just N of Boulder Creek. It was sleeping on the ice with its head down, so a definitive identification could not be made, although we suspect it was a Tundra based on size. Good Birding,

[cobirds] Snipe foraging behavior

>From the "Birds of North America" account of Wilson's Snipe by Helmut Mueller: >"Occasionally feeds by stamping feet or bouncing up and down, apparently to >startle prey into moving. Can thus find prey near surface or in soils too hard >for probing." So, although I have never witnessed this

[cobirds] Jackson Res (Morgan), Crow Valley/Briggsdale (Weld) and Crom Lake (Weld) on November 1

I headed out east of Fort Collins yesterday. Crom Lake on Weld CR31 is frozen. A small contingent of mixed Cackling and Canada Geese slept/stood on the ice. Crow Valley Campground was still open for vehicles but was very slow birdwise. I suppose the incessant winds suppressed detection

[cobirds] Woodcock bd snipe Arapahoe county

While birding at South platte park, a bird that had been identified as a snipe by another Birder was watched. He had the exact gate of the Woodcock with His rump obbing up-and-down continuously. He was going using his beak probe the soil. Do snipes also have this type of walking behavior?

Re: [cobirds] Woodcock bd snipe Arapahoe county

Deb, Linda, Dave, I had a very odd snipe experience in Oct, 1998. I noticed a "Common Snipe" (before Wilson's designation) in my suburban Tacoma, WA backyard. It caught my eye because of the strange and very prominent bobbing up and down behavior as it probed and walked around in my vegetable

Re: [cobirds] Woodcock bd snipe Arapahoe county

Interestingly, 7 Wilson's Snipes exhibited the rear-bobbing behavior at Clear Spring Ranch (El Paso Cty) a few weeks ago. I hadn't seen that before. And yes, they probe while bobbing. Linda Hodges Colorado Springs On Sat, Nov 2, 2019, 12:58 PM 'Deborah Carstensen' via Colorado Birds <
