[cobirds] Bushtit in jail!

Cobirders, This fascinating report came in to the CFO Website today from Ft. Collins, and I thought you all would be interested. Hi, I do not know how common it is to see Bushtits in Colorado and in particular, Fort Collins. I had a small flock come through about 5 weeks ago and since I did

[cobirds] Great to See Friends in Pueblo

John Stump and I traveled over from the San Luis Valley for a chance at the Snowy Owl and RB Sapsucker. RB Sapsucker might be a $3,000 value life bird for me as I have missed it in numerous attempts on the west coast and probably spent those kind of $$ in the journey for this nemesis species!!

[cobirds] Snow goose and a possible Ross's goose, El Paso County

Re: [cobirds] RFI: Parker Brant

Eric- I think they mostly move between those two sites. For example, yesterday I hit Bar CCC first, and there was a small population of geese and no brant. Then I went to PRP and there were zero geese. After making a quick run out to Elbert County, I checked Bar again. More geese, no Brant.

[cobirds] RFI: Parker Brant

Can anyone make suggestions on where to look for the Brant when it is not at the Salisbury park or at the bar CCC lake? I’ve now made four attempts to look for this silly goose but I can never find the large goose flock that it hangs out with that other people do. Oh, I can find a smattering of

For the first day this week, the Pueblo Reservoir South Shore Marina tires Snowy Owl is not present. Since it hangs out at the same spot all day, it may well be somewhere nearby, though not where it has been. The gulls are landing on the tires, where usually likes to be, which was my first clue

Re: [cobirds] Re: Coors Ponds security (Jefferson) No RNGR or LTDU

Birders, I called Coors yesterday and had a cordial chat with the head of security, who will check into the situation and reply today. I'll forward that. I'm confident that we'll find a good solution, as Coors is interested in good relations with the public, and birders want to be good neighbors
