[cobirds] More on Larimer gulls (long)

I spent most of the day looking for the recently reported rare gulls in Larimer County. Seems there has been some turnover, with some new arrivals and possibly some departures. Morning gull numbers were lower at Boyd Lake’s North end and Donath Lake. At 9 A.M. there were several hundred gulls

Re: [cobirds] Re: Gyrfalcon

We didn’t see him catch is prey and couldn’t tell what he was eating through the scope . We did see pigeons fly up on occasion so it could’ve been one of them but I was also wondering if he would go for one of the many magpies that were there. Who knew that staring through the scope at the

[cobirds] No Larimer County Rarities as of 11:30

I was at the Larimer County Landfill all morning and didn't see the Slaty-backed, Glaucous-winged, or any of the 3 Great Black-backed Gulls that have been reported over the past week. The Glaucous and Nelson's Gulls put on a nice show for those of us who were there around 9:30. I don't know if

[cobirds] BARNACLE GOOSE in northeastern CO

A hunter shot a BARNACLE GOOSE this past weekend somewhere in the northeastern part of the state (location not disclosed). It was with a second Barnacle Goose that flew off. I'm not experienced with aging then but based on the photos I think it might be an immature bird. While this species is
