[cobirds] Boulder County - Say's Phoebe

[Peter Burke]

COBirders,
I pulled into Walden Ponds in eastern Boulder Cty. this afternoon for a
quick peek. There is no open water on Cottonwood Marsh, but there was a
pile of Pigeons out on the ice being watched by a Bald Eagle. On the way
out I noticed a nice bright Say's Phoebe.

Good birding,
Peter

[cobirds] Wandering around sw. Weld County - WW Scoter, LT Duck

['Steven Mlodinow' via Colorado Birds]

Greetings All
I spent a few hours today wandering around sw. Weld CountyHighlights were a 
White-winged Scoter (first spring female) at St Vrain State Park (the pond just 
south and west of entrance station. Also an Eared Grebe thereContinuing 
Long-tailed Duck at Firestone Gravel Pits along with a Barrow's Goldeneye
The presence of open water, or lack thereof, is seemingly impossible to 
predict. One pond at Firestone was frozen on Sunday, and with only frigid temps 
since, is now partly open. I am baffled. 
Once waters open, the Redhead, Canvasback, goldeneye, etc will blast past to 
the north, I suspect.
Good BirdingSteve Mlodinow
