Re: [cobirds] Grove-billed Ani, Sand Creek, Denver, 4pm

[DuWayne Worthington]

Ani still here. Just saw him again at 6:40.  A grroup of about 10 people
are on him still with occasional glimpses in a large willow patch.  Same
locations as before; downstream from the bridge in front of the RK building.

[cobirds] Blanca Wetlands Shorebirds Latest

[John Rawinski]

Lisa and I birded the area from top to bottom and had 12 species of 
shorebirds today. Highlights included Snowy and Semi-palmated Plovers, 
Baird's, Least, Solitary, and Stilt Sandpipers, and two Long-billed Curlews 
(Alamosa County).  Pond 114 and 16 are your best bets to find many of them. 
An Eastern Kingbird, unusual for this Valley, has been hanging around North 
Mallard at the Wigeon Ponds.

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chico Basin Ranch, 9/9/19

[Robert Snowden]

As the second week of the fall season gets underway at Chico, we had our 
busiest day of the season so far, but still relatively modest by our 
standards. It was also the coolest (and dampest) start to the morning yet, 
and like last week, we caught more birds as the temperatures rose. The 
majority of captures came in the last couple hours of the day.

For the first time, Wilson's Warblers were not the most abundant species at 
our banding station. Instead, it was a busier day for Orange-crowned 
Warblers and Lincoln's Sparrows. We also had a female 'Northern' oriole 
that made for an interesting identification challenge. Overall, we banded 
32 birds and had 1 recapture, of 11 total species:

Hammond's Flycatcher 1 (FOS)
Wilson's Warbler 4
Western Wood-Pewee 1
Cordilleran/Pacific-slope ("Western") Flycatcher 1
MacGillivray's Warbler 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 12 (11 new, 1 recapture from last week)
Lincoln's Sparrow 8
Swainson's Thrush 1
Bullock's/Baltimore Oriole 1 (possible hybrid)
Northern Mockingbird 1
Gray Catbird 1

We are open 6 days a week, closed on Sundays. We'll be opening nets 
tomorrow at 6:30 AM and closing them at 11:30 AM, weather permitting; for 
the remainder of the week we'll be operating from 6:40 - 11:40 AM. Visitors 
are welcome!

[cobirds] Sabine's Gull, Boulder Reservoir, Boulder Cty.

[Peter Burke]

COBirders,
A juvenile Sabine's Gull was viewable from the
NW corner of Boulder Res. this morning. It was making short forays out over
the water, sometimes landing to feed on the surface, but then quickly
returned to the mudflats where the Ring-billed Gulls were resting.

A pair of Western Sandpipers were at Lagerman Res. on the edge of the water
along the entrance road - keep your eyes open for a small Snapping Turtle
that was on the road this morning.

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Barr Lake Station, 9/8/19

[Meredith McBurney]

Sunday was a relatively unbusy but quite interesting day.  Had a Rock Wren 
and House Wren in hand at the same time for nice comparison photos.  Then 
puzzled for awhile to identify a hatch year Savannah Sparrow (only the 
second ever caught here, the other being in 1991!).  Ended the day with the 
FOS Yellow-rumped Warbler.  Here's the full breakdown of the 36 new birds:

Western Wood-pewee 1
Black-capped Chickadee 1
White-breasted Nuthatch 1
Rock Wren 1
House Wren 2
Gray Catbird 2
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1
Common Yellowthroat 1
Wilson's Warbler 24
Savannah Sparrow 1
Song Sparrow 1

We are open 6 days per week, Tuesday-Sunday, weather permitting, through 
October 13. We are opening nets at 6:40 and should have birds back at the 
station by 7:20. We will close nets most days at 11:40, although we will 
likely close earlier some days as long as this heat continues. School 
groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30, but this Tuesday the ornithology 
class from UNC will be at the station from 8:15 until 11. The best time to 
visit (fewest people, most birds) is before 9:30 weekdays and Sundays. 

Come visit!

[cobirds] Ani still in Sand Creek at 1130 a.m. Monday

[Karen Drozda]

To find the current location of the Ani, follow the gravel trail parallel 
to the RK building (large white building with red stripe. Do not cross the 
bridge. Follow the chain link fence about 100 yds to a lone cottonwood tree 
next to the fence. Look into Sand Creek at another small lone cottonwood 
amongst the willows. Follow the cottonwood trunk to the ground to a clump 
of brown grass debris. We heard the bird calling about 0930. It was very 
visible, preening and resting in this location. Will most likely remain 
there during the heat of the day. Many observers this a.m. Best to get 
there from Central Park Blvd and 35th, turn east on 35th to Xanthia.

[cobirds] Re: Ani still here

[Karen Drozda]

As of 1130 the Ani was still quite visible. Follow the gravel trail 
parallel to the white building with red stripe "RK". Along the chain link 
fence, there is a lone cottonwood tree about 100 yds down the trail. 
Looking into Sand Creek, there is a small cottonwood in Sand Creek. Look 
into the willows at the base of the cottonwood. The bird was calling 
earlier and preening. It seems to be settled in that spot for the heat of 
the day. Many observers this a.m.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Ani still here

[Eric DeFonso]

Although I didn't see as much of the bird's behavior yesterday afternoon as
I'd have liked (due to inclement weather), I didn't see anything that was
inconsistent with general wild ani behavior that I've encountered in my
travels in tropical locales.

To illustrate the sociality of anis (genus Crotophaga), GBAN is one of the
few bird species in the world that are communal nesters, meaning that
sometimes multiple females will share a single joint nest with as many as
20 eggs contained therein. Also, the Groove-billeds I've seen in Costa Rica
would hang out around hotels, and afforded several photo opportunities.
I've photographed Smooth-billeds in a few tropical locales along roadsides
too, in Puerto Rico, Ecuador, and Brazil.

Over the several months I spent in southeastern Brazil I also became fairly
familiar with its congener the Greater Ani (Crotophaga major). Greater Ani
is also highly social, and although not necessarily fearless of humans nor
is it terribly shy, and Greater Ani sometimes even engages in lengthy group
chorus episodes where 3-6 individuals in a group will make a continuous
gurgling cackle that can go on uninterrupted for several minutes. I
actually got to see this a couple times, and it was quite a treat.

The point being, this bird's casual behavior around people doesn't seem to
me to be an argument for prior captivity. It seemed like a typical ani to
me. And I've never even heard of anis as being desired cage birds.

I agree with Rachel. Purely anecdotally and FWIW, I see the species every
January when spending a week or two in Puerto Vallarta.
The birds around Isla Cuale, the stream that flows through the heart of
town, don't exactly beg for handouts.
But they do freely wander the island and its thickets within a few feet of
the stalls of vendors selling tourist items and food.
And yes, the ones I encounter are approachable. They are also rather
s-l-o-w and unhurried.

Hi COBirders,

I am not commenting on whether or not this is a wild bird, but I will say that 
my experience with Groove-billed Ani, which I see and photograph annually in 
Mexico, is that they are highly social and gregarious birds. When they are not 
foraging and moving through a particular habitat in a group, I am usually able 
to get quite close to them for photos.

[cobirds] Ani still here

[Alison Kondler]

Got great views of the Ani just now. Could this be an escaped bird? It flew up 
to many of us as if waiting for a hand out. At one point five of us were about 
eight feet away from it for about 6 minutes or so.

[Joe Roller]

Date:  Monday, September 9, 2019

Birders have been helpful by reporting updates to COBirds. Thanks!

CAPITAL LETTERS denote very rare species, as listed by the Colorado Bird
Records Committee at the CFO website.

(*) indicates new information on a species.

For more information on birds seen today, go to cobirds.org and scroll to
the bottom for “Recent eBird Sightings”.


Rare, out-of-place and out-of-season species include:



*GROOVE-BILLED ANI* (*Denver)

RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD (Kiowa)

Long-billed Curlew (Jefferson)

Buff-breasted Sandpiper (*Washington)

LONG-TAILED JAEGER (Pueblo)

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (Denver)

PRAIRIE WARBLER (*Jefferson)


BROOMFIELD COUNTY:

—On September 7 an Ovenbird was reported at Alexx & Michaels Pond in
Broomfield by David Ely & Matt Hofeditz. There is only one previous eBird
county record.


DENVER COUNTY:

—On September 8 a *GROOVE-BILLED ANI* was reported in the hotspot “Sand
Creek--Westerly Creek to Smith Rd” by Jason Bidgood, who spread the word
quickly, allowing myriad birders to hop to it and enjoy this mega-rarity,
the 5th state eBird record. It was seen from both sides of Sand Creek,
upstream of the intersection of Xanthia St and Smith Rd, near Central Park
Blvd. It has been confiding at times, perched in the open, but more often
skulks in the dense understory there. Updates to CObirds (yea or nay) would
be appreciated.

at Berkeley Park by Charlie Chase. Present here last winter.

Kingfisher Bridge parking lot toward the South Platte River delta by
Michael Lester.

Platte River delta at Chatfield SP, found by Lorraine Lanning. The ID was
reviewed and confirmed. Habitat for shorebirds is good there now.

Mlodinow.
