[cobirds] Prothonotary Warbler Update at Chico Basin Ranch (El Paso County)

[lmkoitsch]

Hiya!

I just wanted to let everyone know that the male Prothonotary Warbler that 
was banded today at Chico Basin Ranch (fee area) in El Paso County was 
resighted again in Holmes Grove twice this afternoon, the latest being 
around 3pm. Speaking of Holmes Grove, it was alive with birds this 
afternoon! Juncos and thrushes foraging on the ground; spizella sparrows in 
the grasses; woodpeckers, warblers, and empids in the trees; it was simply 
magical! We also incidentally caught a Hoary Bat in the nets today, so you 
really just never know what you're going to see when you come visit us at 
the banding station, which I invite everyone to do! We try to band every 
day weather permitting and nets are open by 7/730 and usually closed around 
noon. Hope to see you out there!

[lmkoitsch]

We actually banded that Cassin's Vireo after you left, Bill. Also banded 
was a handsome male Red-shafted Flicker, one of two flickers seen today. 
Orange-crowned Warblers are also starting to arrive in good numbers as well 
as Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Holmes Grove was full of birds in the afternoon 
and the Prothonotary Warbler was sighted there again around 3pm.

It took about 4 hours but I finally got some decent pictures to add to a

incredible!

[cobirds] Sanderling, Semipalmated Plover (and 100+ Killdeer) at Sixmile Reservoir - Boulder County

[Peter Burke]

Cobirders,
Sixmile Reservoir, which is just south of Boulder Reservoir, has some
excellent mudflats at the moment. This morning David Dowell and I observed
a Semi Plover and a juvenile Sanderling in a sea of Killdeer. Also present
were seven or so Least Sandpipers.

Good birding,
Peter

[cobirds] Prothonotary Warbler - El Paso County

[Bill Maynard]

COBirders,

 

A golden swamp warbler was caught and banded at the Bird Conservatory of the
Rockies/Chico Basin Ranch banding station in El Paso County (fee area). It
was captured inside the exclosure in the net lane closest to the large
willow by a small spring.  

 

Also caught was a male Red-naped Sapsucker and a Cassin's Vireo was fussing
in the wooded area. Junco, Song Sparrow, and White-crowned Sparrow numbers
were on the rise. Hermit and Swainson's thrushes were banded.

[cobirds] Re: Yellow-throated Vireo at Grandview Cem, FtCollins (Weld)

[David Wade]

 


Thanks to Dave's tip I managed to get a couple of shots of the 
Yellow-throated Vireo this morning.  When I arrived, I saw Dave as he was 
leaving, he pointed out the elms on the West side that he saw it in. I 
searched there for awhile until the warbler neck became too much to bear. 
Because Dave saw it in the elms I thought I would search  other elms for 
it. About the time I was ready to give up, I found it where sections B, D 
and L all meet. (There is a section map of the cemetery engraved in stone 
at the office near the ditch by the entrance). My advice for any seeking 
this bird is to search the elm trees in the Northwest  corner of the 
cemetery.

Re: [cobirds] Cherry Creek jaeger continues

[Glenn Walbek, Castle Rock, CO]

Folks,I and others were able to spend some quality time with the Cherry Creek jaeger, including close looks and photographs.  I and others are convinced the bird is a juvenile, intermediate morph Parasitic Jaeger.  I will add close up photos later showing a long, thin bill with small nail, buffy undertail coverts, considerable white in the base of the primaries above and short, pointed central tail projections.  The bird is putting on a show from various points in the lake.Glenn WalbekCastle Rock, COSent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID

[cobirds] Yellow-throated Vireo at Grandview Cem, FtCollins (Weld)

[DAVID A LEATHERMAN]

A yellow-throated vireo has been at Grandview Cemetery at west terminus of 
Mountain Avenue all morning. It has been seen of late in the northeast corner 
of the section west of the ditch. Go in entrance, go across the ditch, turn 
right. Look in elms and spruce along the ditch.

[cobirds] Gray Flycatcher, CSR, El Paso Co., Friday

[Steve Brown]

Hi COBirders,

I caught and banded a Hatch-year Gray Flycatcher this morning at dawn at Clear 
Spring Ranch. After that, it was reasonably quiet. 25 birds today, 25 
yesterday, after 104 with 68 Chipping Sparrows (64 Hatch-years!) on Wednesday.

Also today, Ad M Ruby-crowned Kinglet, HY M MacGillivray's Warbler, several 
Wilson's, and a handful of Lincoln's and Chipping Sparrows.

Happy Migration,

[cobirds] Parasitic jaeger Cherry Creek

['Birding' via Colorado Birds]

Currently present. Observing with Joe Roller, Glen Walbek, Phil Pratt and Nina 
Routh.
Glen got an excellent photo showing pointed central tail feathers, slender bill 
with black tip, barred undertail with buffy background (unlike more black/white 
contrast in long-tailed). Bird seems right for parasitic on several bases.

[cobirds] Re: Parasitic Jaeger- only one previous record from Cherry Creek SP.or Arapahoe County.

[Brian Johnson]

Congratulations also to Glenn Walbek for findings this rare bird! Very 
exacting. I am wondering if this bird is the same jaeger I saw at the 
Marina Sandspit at Chatfield on the 9th of this month in Douglas County, on 
week ago. This jaeger I believe to have been a Parasitic and also a 
juvenile. It is being reviewed by the CBRC now, I have three photos of it 
for them to look over. It would be impossible to say for sure if it is the 
same bird of course, but if so it is a traveling bird, possibility having 
crossed into Jefferson over South Platte Reservoir's small Jeffoc part 
across the highway from Chatfield, which it looked like might be doing at 
one point, that would make it a tri county jaeger! Interesting to try and 
piece  together the movements of this bird. Here is my checklist from that 
time if any one would like to compare photos,

[cobirds] Parasitic Jaeger- only one previous record from Cherry Creek SP.or Arapahoe County.

[Joe Roller]

Many thanks for Glenn Walbek for finding and photographing this mega-rarity!
Parasitic Jaeger (aka Arctic Skua) is rare in CO, and there is only one
previous record from CCSP, also a juvenile, accepted by CBRC, with photos,
from Sept 16-24, 1973.
Ref: "Bob and Bob," *Colorado BIrds*, Robert Andrews, Robert Righter,
published by Denver Museum of Natural History, 1992). That record has not
made it into the eBird database
yet, but will soon be added.
