[cobirds] Moscovy Duck (Memorial Park & Prospect Lake, El Paso County)

At 7:30 this morning I saw two Muscovy Ducks at the lake. Later in the morning Tanja Britton put them up on ebird and wondered what to do about them. I'm asking what do I do? Should I report them? Can I count them as a new County bird? Chris Brobin Manitou Sprins,CO -- You received this

[cobirds] Tundra Swans Pueblo 12/1

Not sure these are too chase-able, unless we can figure which pond they went to, though two juvenile Tundra Swans were flying along the Arkansas River in Pueblo, this morning. I was near the Pueblo Nature Center, when I saw them. I got a few photos in flight. I checked one likely pond nearby,

Re: [cobirds] Brown-capped Rosy-Finches in Telluride

Regarding sightings of rosy-finches this winter (or any time of the year for that matter), please look for color bands and/or silver bands. It would be interesting to see if any of the rosies Kim Potter banded at Aspen and other locations could be re-sighted! I would really appreciate knowing if

Re: [cobirds] Dates and Contact Info for Colorado Christmas Bird Counts, 2016-2017

So far, the CBC Website isn't open for people to register for Christmas Bird Counts. So, make sure to contact the compilers of the count(s) you plan to go on, so they know. I'm hoping, like everyone else, that the CBC Website will be open for people to sign up for counts soon. The first counts

[cobirds] Brown-capped Rosy-Finches in Telluride

Hello Colorado Birders: My family and I moved from New England to Telluride at the end of the summer and I have been anxiously awaiting the descent of rosy-finches. After 21 inches of snow over a 72 hour period, I finally got my wish yesterday. When I looked out the window this morning, the swarm

[cobirds] Re: Rusty blackbirds Cherry Creek State Park, Arapahoe Cnty

I saw them at the Pelican Point beach on 11/30 around 9am. They were along the beach headed out to the point and then flying back up into the trees. Another birder ID'ed them as Rusty and let me get a closer look at them through his scope (thanks Randy!). We were at the base of the tree and got
