[cobirds] Purple Sandpiper, Summit County, Frisco

Hi All, Cindy Valentine and I went up to see the bird this afternoon. When we got there, we easily found it via scope view. No other birders were there when we arrived. We viewed the bird from the parking area that the kite boarders were using. By the time we left we did not see the bird, and

Re: [cobirds] Re: Purple Sandpiper viewing ethics

I think we have all encountered birders who have crossed the line - those that have no concern for anyone but themselves. I doubt highly that many of those birders are paying much attention to these posts (we can hope I guess). The bigger issue is educating the rest of us who know the ethics

Re: [cobirds] Re: Purple Sandpiper viewing ethics

Thank you Norm and to all who have chimed in on this birding ethics topic. The plea for appropriate birder behavior and common sense has been well and clearly made. Thank you for keeping things polite and for avoiding any personal attacks. Unless there is some new substance to add to the

[cobirds] Nor. Goshawk terrorizes Littleton neighborhood, Arapahoe

An adult *Nor. Goshawk* has just been cruising through the neighborhood of South Prince near Lee Gulch (south of Littleton Cemetery). Moments before it had seemed that there were hardly any birds around, and then suddenly flocks of robins, starlings, magpies, collared-doves, house finches,

RE: [cobirds] Re: Purple Sandpiper viewing ethics

I agree totally with gwen and duane. Have these people not ever read the ABA birding ethics? Such behavior is not that of an ethical birder who thinks only of a stressed, lost bird's well being. Stay away if they can't bird like a real and ethical birder. KayKayleen A

I so agree with Duane. Painful to watch people getting within 5 or 6ft of the bird. Come on, people, have some respect for the bird! Surely 10 or 15ft is close enough! We remember the woodcocks being flushed by people who want to get just a little closer. Back off! Why is the bird unbothered?
