Yeah, this one hurts a bit, but you’re right Nathan. Even a small number of
cases of severe COVID-19 could cripple healthcare operations in that REGION.
Arkansas Valley Regional Medical Center apparently has only 92 beds and also
acts as a nursing home as well.

I had the Teal Trifecta yesterday at the tiny pond where the Rod and Gun Club
duck blind is at the Arsenal. I took photos but surprisingly the Teals did not
cooperate. They were never together and when two would be near each other only
one would have its head up at a time! The pandemic has
One broad-winged hawk at 16:15, initially readily identifiable and then
soaring above the Flagstaff amphitheatre to a very great height till I
could barely make out its silhouette (with 10x42 binos).

All the Teal talk reminds me of the day I got Green-winged Teal,
Blue-winged Teal, and Cinnamon Teal at Rigden Reservoir in one day. They
were admittedly all in separate bodies of water (the Green-winged were in a
pond across the east railroad tracks, the Blue-winged were in the NE corner

Hi Birders,
I saw 27 White-faced Ibis at Marston reservoir around 3pm ,on 4/18. Saw them
from the east side of of Bow Mar Dr. Several of the birds were pretty hidden
by others and I could not see some of their legs or faces. Who knows if a
Glossy was hidden in the group because I had to keep
I too had a Teal trifecta (BW, GW, Cinnamon) at Robert Easton Park in
Littleton (SW Jeffco County) today! I enjoyed the trifecta post
tremendously, and probably wouldn't have taken notice if not for that. I
hadn't been to this park before, but it's in my county so I thought I'd
give it a try.
All,
The aforementioned Glossy Ibis may have some WFIB genetics in it. Take a
look at my photos here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S67418983. Some photos
show a slight pinkish tinge in the face. I have no experience with hybrid
Ibis, so input is welcome!

Karl,
Lucky you!
As I said in my OP, I probably wouldn’t have seen this unless COVID-restrained!
Unrelated to teal, the same afternoon yielded VIRA (as a county bird).
Moral of story . . . spend more time in your “backyard”!

What an incredible experience to witness the raptor migration today! Great
that you caught it too, Christian. I was wondering if the dark clouds down by
NCAR had, as you put it, “shut off the tap.” Over by Mt Sanitas the flow
dramatically lessened about 2:15, with a few stragglers until
I've had that phenomenon many times, same place. Green-wings come in first in
the spring, leave last in the fall.
About thirty years ago I had the famous garganey at Sombrero Marsh. Those
teal were also there. I have a good picture (somewhere, probably could find
it) of a lateral view
COBirders,
I can’t remember seeing all three teals (BW, GW & Cinnamon) in the same body of
water at the same time. Today, in one of the Cottonwood Creek Ponds, I got
lucky.
I will say that, if it hadn’t been for COVID, I might have wandered a bit
further afield (while still staying in

I found a Glossy Ibis in the flooded field leading into Clear Springs Ranch in

Have now had one Peregrine, one Prairie Falcon, and one Am Kestrel within the

larger falcons were heading directly north along the Dakota Ridge.
