[cobirds] More Jackson Lake (Morgan) and a few Weld Co. Stops

2013-09-06 Thread Cathy Sheeter
Yes Jackson Lake SP has been getting a lot of attention from birders, and rightly so! This place is still hopping. I went there yesterday AM and with a turn of good fortune it was overcast and fairly cool until almost 11! I didn't work the shore birds as much as many and mostly concentrated

Oh... Forgot some of the other Warblers I had included one Magnolia, one MacGillivray's, and one Townsend's. That is what I get for posting before my morning coffee! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group. To unsubscribe from this

[cobirds] Sabine's Gulls at Loloff Res (Weld)

2013-09-06 Thread DAVID A LEATHERMAN
Cathy Sheeter mentioned in her post about Jackson Res and other sites, having seen two Sabine's Gulls at Loloff Res (Weld). I should point out the first one was cleverly picked out of the over 800 Franklin's Gulls present by David Hill. While looking at that black-headed beauty with a

Just adding to the discussion: For the past 2+ weeks, Clark's Nutcrackers have been hammering cones and gathering seeds in the ponderosa pines around our house, on the hogback just west of the South Bay area of Horsetooth Reservoir, elevation 5,760'. I've seen them nearly every day; they

Seth, You may have read it differently than I did. I saw it more as a Be careful when birding in the same areas as people with guns which I thought was completely appropriate. I was out with a birding group at an SWA this week (most of us not knowing that dove season had started) - when we
