Re: [cobirds] Lake County Bird ID

The first bird looks like a house rent me.

The second bird is really interesting and I don’t know what it is. That heavily 
forked tail is very intriguing!

[cobirds] Lake County Bird ID

[julieama...@gmail.com]

Good evening!

Yesterday morning I hiked around Turquoise Lake, near Leadville, and 
observed two birds I'm not positive in identifying.

The first looked like a House Wren, but I wasn't positive since this was 
around 10,000ft. I know it's possible for them to reside at this elevation, 
and it doesn't quite appear to be another wren, so I wanted to soundboard 
it with you guys.

The second I managed to catch only a quick glimpse of. I am rusty with high 
altitude, forest birds, and while it looked Finch-like, again, wanted to 
hear thoughts.

I attached pictures to my drive where they can be viewed (unless I need to 
attach these in a different manner).

[cobirds] Mourning doves- Weld County

[Sharon Kay]

I have had these two mourning doves hanging in my yard the past four days 
or so. They are always on the ground when I see them and by the time I see 
them I am often only four feet or so from them. They don't seem very 
active. I am not in the yard much. I do not know how much time they are 
actually in my yard. But I have seen them daily and twice today. Is it 
possible they are sick?

[cobirds] Sharing the Joy of Birds

[Caleb A]

Hello CObirds!

Regretfully, I do not have a rare bird to report today, but I do want to 
take a moment to talk about one of my growing favorite parts of birding: 
making newer birders.
I love to teach, especially when I'm sharing something I love, and birds 
are no exception. I'm a teenager, so there are always the occasional 
awkward side glances when I tell my peers about my hobby, but I've 
discovered (through many conversations) that the majority of people in *all* 
age 
groups are interested in birds to an extent. Not just that, but I was 
pleasantly surprised to find that a lot of these people would be interested 
in birding, but they just don't know how to start or how any of it works.

I am currently guiding several classmates through the beginning phases of 
birding (who are already catching on pretty quickly) and I've noticed that 
my family is recognizing the birds around them more often (my Grandma has a 
wonderful pair of feeders that sported some great activity this past 
month). For those of you who know what Nextdoor is, I've found that there 
is a whole community of nonbirders who want to learn more about birds, 
whether it's identification tips or just how to attract birds to their 
yards to watch. I had the opportunity to show a neighborhood resident a 
beautiful, cooperative Townsend's Warbler on their walk, and yesterday I 
led a bird walk for some local girl scouts (unexpectedly picking up a FOY 
Prairie Falcon along the way).

I'm finding that sharing birds with our friends, peers, and communities is 
just one more fun aspect of birding for me and thought I'd encourage this 
wonderful Colorado birding community to keep making birders! We live in a 
great state for the hobby, after all...

[cobirds] Re: Blackbirds massing--is fall on its way?

[Caleb A]

Especially considering I'm starting to see flocks of geese again, flocks of 
spizellas heading south, and more shorebirds and passerines coming through, 
I think fall is on the way!

[cobirds] June--August birds - Douglas

['Hugh Kingery' via Colorado Birds]

     Because of Covid & because of the smoky polluted air, Urling & I have 
birdwatched only close to home for 2-3 months -- within a 5-mile radius of our 
house.    Our lists total 20-30 species per day; 66 species in June, 68 in 
July, 57 so far this month. No jawbreakers, but lots of reliable friends. We 
have counted more Turkey Vultures & Red-winged Blackbirds than any others. We 
have daily 2 chickadee species, 2 nuthatches, 2 jays, 2 goldfinches. The 
fledgling towhees burgeoned to at least a dozen at a time under our feeders, 
and fledgling Black-headed Grosbeaks hit 8. Both have now declined some. Four 
humm. species, but Calliope only 2-3 days, Rufous & Black-chinned only 
occasionally.
