[cobirds] Scandal! A report from the West Slope!

Hello, Birders. Kei and Hannah and Andrew and I were out at the Carpenter Ranch, Routt County, this past Saturday-Sunday, Sept. 13-14, for the 3rd annual Yampa Valley Crane Festival. The highlight was several hundred Sandhill Cranes. I'd known about the famous stagings in the San Luis Valley;

[cobirds] W.Scrub Jay here

Hi all. I put out some peanuts yesterday and the Scrub Jay came and got one. I think this is the same one that has been coming for 2 years now. I think it hangs out with Blue Jays. It is not as bright as most Scrub Jays and may be a female. I have not started feeding birds yet this year.

[cobirds] Sabine's Gull in Bent County

Birders, An immature Sabine's Gull was at Adobe Creek Reservoir (aka Blue Lake) this afternoon. It was in the shrinking south part of the lake south of the Bent County line. As water is drawn down, there is a deep canal allowing water to pass from the large north part of the lake, through the

[cobirds] RMBO Barr Banding Report, 9/16/14

The warm weather seems to have slowed things down; only 33 new birds banded today. Cool and surprising bird of the day was a Sage Thrasher. We haven't caught one at the station since 1995! And the first I've had in the hand. We all spent a long time staring at its truly beautiful eyes!

[cobirds] Parasitic Jaeger, Boulder Res., Boulder Co.

From distant views it appears to be a Parasitic Jaeger on Boulder Res. When I left best views were from the south shore and the jaeger was mostly floating on the water. It flew around a few times, but always distant. Also on the res were *Sabine Gull*, *Common Tern*, and Forester's Tern. Next

Re: [cobirds] Jaeger sp. , Boulder Res. , Boulder Co.

At Boulder Res right now and Jaeger took flight towards SE corner. Looks to be a Juv Pomeraine Jaeger based on rounded tail, bulky bill, and noticeable hook to bill but didn't see it in flight long enough to see underwing/upperwing clearly. Would appreciate clarification from anyone else who

[cobirds] Black-throated Green Warbler at Crow Valley Campground, Weld County 9/13/14

Terribly sorry about the belated post, I feel bad that this bird is likely not chasable...but me and my birding partners Fawn Simonds and Nicole Teel found a Black-throated Green Warbler at Crow Valley Campground on the Pawnee National Grassland in Weld County last Saturday (9/13/14). The bird

RE: [cobirds] Jaeger sp. , Boulder Res. , Boulder Co.

Dear Birders, I went down to the north shore of Boulder Reservoir from around 5:15-6 pm this evening. For most of the time, the jaeger was sitting on the water just beyond the buoys. The bird wasn't all that big, noticeably smaller than a relatively adjacent Ring-billed Gull. The overall color

Re: [cobirds] Jaeger sp. , Boulder Res. , Boulder Co.

I'm hoping that the two enterprising birders who hired (?) the small fishing boat (and must have stunning close up photos of the jaeger) might post observations and/or share their photos with cobirds! The idea occurred to me, but I had no cash. Thomas Heinrich Boulder, CO nyc...@aol.com
