[cobirds] white egrets

[Glenn Walbek]

Folks,


Differentiating juvenile little blue heron from snowy egret in fall is fraught 
with peril. I mean, you could get it wrong and then what? I have been looking 
at Colorado's smallish, white egrets in fall and have noticed something. Birds 
being reported as juvi little blues show bill and lore characteristics of juvi 
little blue herons. When I look at SIbley's depiction of bill and lores of juvi 
little blue heron vs. snowy egret, I am not confident I could differentiate 
them based on those features. But observing birds and photos of birds reported 
as juvi little blue heron here in Colorado, I have noticed something... leg 
color.


Adult snowy egrets have dark (black) legs and yellow feet. Adult little blue 
herons have dull greenish-yellow legs and feet. Juvenile snowy egrets show a 
dark (black) front of legs and yellowish to greenish-yellow back of legs, 
basically two-tone. Juvi little blue heron legs are the same color as adult 
birds uniform, dull greenish-yellow. 


All of this fall's reports of juvi little blue herons I have observed, either 
in person or from photos have bi-colored legs. The front of the leg is dark, 
the back of the leg is yellow or pale. I am no expert in identifying juvi 
little blue heron, but I have scrutinized photos of these birds from Texas and 
they all seem to have uniform (front to back) dull yellow-green leg color. 


When observing these white egret-herons, make note of leg color, front and 
back. I THINK this could be helpful in identifying the correct species.

[cobirds] Hermit Warbler

[Glenn Walbek]

My close and personal friend Steve Larson found a great bird today in Boulder. 
I and many others were able to photograph this rarity, a hermit warbler. I 
suspect this bird is a 1st year male, based on the extent of black in the crown 
and throat. My photos of this Pacific Northwest warbler can be found here.. 
https://gwalbek.smugmug.com/2019-Birds/

This is the 20th species of warbler I have observed in just over 24 hours. 
Birding Eastern Colorado yesterday, I and others racked up a nice tally of 
Eastern birds including, bay-breasted, worm-eating, magnolia, hooded, 
Tennessee, blackpoll, and northern parula as well as veery and gray-cheeked 
thrush.  I recommend you check your ‘patch’ often in the next few days, as 
Steve Larson did today.

[cobirds] NE Colorado foray

[Glenn Walbek]

Folks,


Steve Larson and I ventured out to northeast Colorado, primarily to find 
Sharp-tailed Grouse, shorebirds and early migrants. We scored on the grouse 
along Weld hwy 134 with 9 birds in 4 locations. Going early seems to be the key 
for success here.


On the shorebird front, Jumbo and Prewitt reservoirs are filled to capacity 
with little or no room for shorebirds. Red Lion SWA has decent shorebird 
habitat and should be checked in the coming weeks for migrant shorebirds. 
Moving west along highway 34, we found good shorebird conditions at Weld county 
Rd. 59 and Loloff reservoir.  We and others (Norm Lewis's group) found a 
Whimbrel, Marbled Godwits, Least Sandpipers, Long-billed Dowitchers, Willets, 
Wilson's Phalarope, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, White-faced Ibis, 
Black-necked Stilts, and American Avocets,  Coupled with the seemingly lack of 
ephemeral playas in eastern Colorado, Red Lion and the ponds around Bebe Draw 
could be productive for the next 6 weeks.


Passerines were few and far between, with a handfull of Orange-crowned 
Warblers, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Say's Phoebes, Vesper Sparrows, Field 
Sparrows, Chipping Sparrows.


Good birding...

[cobirds] THE Neotropic Cormorant

[Glenn Walbek]

Folks,


I and many others observed the previously reported Neotropic Cormorant during 
the course of the day. The bird is significantly smaller than the many, nearby 
DCCOs. Careful examination in the field, coupled with photographic evidence 
show a bird with a smaller, narrower bill, longer tail, rounder head and 
thinner neck than those DCCOs. The cincher is the gape and lores. This 
smallish, fish eater has no yellow above the bill, dark lores and a pointed 
gape, edged in white. These features would be difficult for a DCCO to sport!

[cobirds] Marston tufted duck

[Glenn Walbek]

I saw this bird on the west side of the reservoir and was somewhat puzzled.  
Then I saw small but noticeable feather tufts on the back of the head, more 
noticeable than my distant pictures show.  I have seen exactly one tufted duck 
prior to this (not a juvi) so I am no expert on this species.  I was able to 
get some camera phone digi-scoped pictures which I have attached to my list.  I 
have to admit I am a bit troubled by the head shape of this bird.  It is a juvi 
so I am ok with the seemingly lack of a dark breast.  The head is shaped a bit 
like ring-necked duck imo, but it lacks the pale eyering and eyeline.  And I’ve 
never seen a ring-necked duck with tufts on the head with no eyering or 
eyeline. I was able to find similar looking juvi ‘tufted duck’ pictures online. 
  Comments are welcomed.

[cobirds] Tufted Duck, Marston Res.

[Glenn Walbek]

I am looking at what appears to be a 'good' tufted duck on the west side of 
Marston Reservoir fairly close to shore. The bird is a female / juvi type with 
very small tufts coming out of the back of the head.

[cobirds] Chatfield Jaegers

[Glenn Walbek]

Folks,


There has been some exciting birds at Chatfield both yesterday and today!  
Three jaegers have been offering good study for those who are patient and 
interested.  Photos of all three birds identify them to two species.  
Long-tailed Jaeger and Parasitic Jaeger.  Tony Leukering promises to chime in 
on these wandering skuas in the near future.  Three jaegers on one pond in 
Colorado is worth a look.  If you have the time, or can make the time, go check 
out the spectacle at Chatfield.

[cobirds] Great Black-backed Gull, Chatfield (Douglas)

Yesterday, I found a 3rd cycle Great Black-backed Gull at the Chatfield marina 
sandspit.  Photos from Joey's DFO trip confirm this.  GBBG is a rare bird at 
Chatfield any time of year, but September 8 is exceptionally early for Colorado!

[cobirds] Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Kit Carson Co.

[Glenn Walbek]

Folks,


Yesterday, I had brief but good looks at what I thought was an adult 
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher below the dam at Flagler SWA.  It was not re-found 
late in the day by another birder, and is why I did not post about it.  Late 
this afternoon, Mark Peterson and I re-found and photographed the bird.  It is 
an adult Yellow-bellied Flycatcher.  The bird likes to hangout in the woods 
below the dam, in the northeast corner.  There are several empidonax thingies 
below the dam including Least, Willow and Hammond's.  If you go there, you may 
want to bring mosquito repellent.

Folks,

As Brandon states, several birders have tried for the warbler since 7 a.m. It

birds.  If anyone sees the warbler again please post an update to the listserv. 
Thank you.

[cobirds] Golden-crowned Warbler YES, and best route

[Glenn Walbek]

Joey Kellner and Norm Erthal are looking at the warbler along road 9 on the 
east side in a juniper under the large cottonwoods just north of the creek 
bridge.  They advise coming up from Wild Horse on Cheyenne Co. Rd 9.  That road 
has more aggregate than the roads coming down from Flagler an is in fairly good 
shape.  There is also a female Hooded Warbler and a male Black-throated Blue 
Warbler.  Good Luck and drive carefully.

[cobirds] Black-billed Cuckoo, Grace's Warbler, Dickcissels

[Glenn Walbek]

Folks,

Yesterday after working on the plains, I wandered up to Jumbo / Tamarack SWAs 
to look for northeast specialties and see if some of the recently reported 
migrants were hanging around.  At parking area 1 of Tamarack SWA on the west 
side of hwy 83, I briefly observed and briefly heard calling a Black-billed 
Cuckoo along with several Yellow-billed Cuckoos.  I mentioned this to Joey 
Kellner this morning and he and his group were able to refind and photograph 
the bird in the same location.  This is where the Eastern Wood-Pewee has been 
vocalizing now for a second straight year.  

http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S37340218

Today, I took my chances on the Grace’s Warbler in Cheyenne Mountain SP and 
found him singing a bit south of the previously reported locations.  On my 
return trip I heard a singing Dickcissel in the grassy area(s) near the 
amphitheater.  Last year around this time, I  encountered signing Dickcissels 
in marginal Dickcissel habitat in the foothills of Douglas County.

Re: [cobirds] Burrowing Owls and security guards, Adams county

I just read the ABA has implemented 'sanctuary hot spots', where birders can bird freely without fear of intimidation, deportation, or ID questioning.  Below is a partial list of these hot spots..Walden PondsBaseline ReservoirGregory CanyonValmont ReservoirGreenlee PreserveGlenn WalbekCastle Rock, COSent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROIDOn Apr 1, 2017 12:50 PM, 'Norm Lewis' via Colorado Birds  wrote:I understand, and this why I encourage other birders not to let themselves be pushed around for no particular good reason. I make it a point never to pass a "private property" sign, to cross fences or enter anywhere that says "keep out". However, I find that more and more I am being harrassed for being in areas which appear have public access. "Golf Cart Boy" out at Latham once called the sheriff on me (he did it while I was standing there, so I know he actually did it; I overheard the conversation). I just stood there while he yelled at me that I was ignoring him, to which I replied, "Yep". He left, but I waited around for the authorities, who of course never appeared. They probably got a good laugh out of his report of a miscreant birder.
Anyway, if law enforcement gives me a valid reason way I should vacate an area, vacate I will. Yesterday's "officer" (who must have looking desperately for a reason to justify her existence) just sputtered about "DIA" and "private property" and really had no good reason why I should leave the area.

That's probably enough on this subject. Please obey all property signs and follow the ABA Code of Ethics. But I submit that there is no reason why birders should be bullied just because we have a reputation for being rather passive.

That is funny, but as a Muslim birder this stuff is not much of a joke to me.  I am afraid to go on any birding expeditions out of the country right now, or to even try to get on a plane to go somewhere in this country.  I was harassed and followed by security once for birding at the Xeriscape Gardens in Colorado Springs - apparently because it is owned by the local utility company the fact that I had a scarf and binoculars made me a terrorist.  I just don't trust the 'authorities' are always going to do the right thing because of my appearance.  I have heard the same thing from several birders of color.  I encourage those of you who are less marginalized to keep standing up when people push you like that because you might be indirectly helping out someone who wouldn't be able to do so.

Folks,

Steve Stachowiak, Steve Larson, Loch Kilpatrick and I were able to see and 
photograph the Purple Sandpiper this morning.  The dark color, orange legs and 
orange basal quarter of the mandible appear to eliminate Rock Sandpiper from 
contention.  Thanks indeed to the Bushong boys who found this rarity during a 
blizzard.  Photos of the bird can be seen by following this link.

[Glenn Walbek]

It took about 4 hours but I finally got some decent pictures to add to a 
checklist.  If you are lucky enough to see this bird chase a sterna tern, it is 
incredible!

Re: [cobirds] Cherry Creek jaeger continues

[Glenn Walbek, Castle Rock, CO]

Folks,I and others were able to spend some quality time with the Cherry Creek jaeger, including close looks and photographs.  I and others are convinced the bird is a juvenile, intermediate morph Parasitic Jaeger.  I will add close up photos later showing a long, thin bill with small nail, buffy undertail coverts, considerable white in the base of the primaries above and short, pointed central tail projections.  The bird is putting on a show from various points in the lake.Glenn WalbekCastle Rock, COSent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID

[cobirds] Cherry Creek jaeger

[Glenn Walbek]

Folks,

I and others studied the Cherry Creek jaeger for a couple of hours this 
afternoon.  It never approached very close so observations and photos were of a 
distant jaeger.  I have attached the link to the ebird checklist containing 
photos.  Some of the photos are 200 % crop for the sake of detail.

Here are some of my observations.  In good light, the bird appeared warm brown. 
 Others commented it appeared almost golden at one point.  This is something I 
would not expect to see in either of the other two jaegers (Pomarine, 
Long-tailed), but especially Long-tailed.  This lead us to eliminate LTJA 
quickly.  A large, white patch in the underwing due to the pale basal half of 
the primaries was evident.  Photos confirm this as well as the seemingly lack 
of pale bases to the primary coverts (which create the double white flash in 
Pomarine Jaeger).  The bill was longish and dark at the tip appearing 
PAJA-like.  I did not think the bill was heavy enough, with a large enough nail 
for POJA.  So Parasitic Jaeger seems to fit this bird.  Although I am a bit 
confused about the seemingly pale P9-P10 shafts (indicative of LTJA).  Also, 
these photos do not depict the warm tones that were observed in the field, 
likely due to cloud cover.  Comments are welcome, but I suggest a visit to 
Cherry Creek before conclusions are made based on these photos.

Re: [cobirds] Cherry Creek jaeger, Sabine's Gulls

[Glenn Walbek, Castle Rock, CO]

I was able to return to Cherry Creek after a couple of appointments.  After seeing and photographing the juvi jaeger, I believe like Joe Roller, it is a Parasitic Jaeger.  It has no 'double flash', is warm brown and has a nail about 1/3 the length of the thin bill.  Bird is actively chasing gulls.  Several birders viewing it from the lake loop.Glenn WalbekCastle Rock, COSent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROIDOn Sep 15, 2016 11:08 AM, Glenn Walbek <gwal...@comcast.net> wrote:Juvi jaeger and at least 2 SAGUs.  Jaeger is along the dam in the middle of Lake.  Chocolate brown, significant white in under wing.  Substantial looking but also distant.Glenn Walbek Castle Rock, COSent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID

[cobirds] El Paso Co. varia

[Glenn Walbek]

Folks,

I visited Big Johnson Reservoir on my way home from work today, looking for 
the lingering *Pacific Loon* discovered by Peterson almost 2 weeks ago.  I 
found the loon close to the southwest shore where good views could be had 
from the parking area.  The basic plumage *Common Loon* also persists, but 
a breeding plumage *Red-necked Grebe* was a colorful surprise.  

Possibly more significant, I observed an adult, male *Chestnut-collared 
Longspur* south of Calhan in northeast El Paso County.  Neither Colorado 
Birding Atlases show this species as a breeder in El Paso County.  I can 
not yet confirm breeding of this species in El Paso County, however the 
date suggests breeding is occurring there. * McCown's Longspurs* are not 
uncommon breeders in northeast  El Paso County and I have recently observed 
hatched youngsters of this species.  The potential of a late/early, 
migrating Chestnut-collared Longspur in this area seems remote given the 
date. I will post to this list if I can confirm breeding of 
Chestnut-Collared Longspurs in El Paso Co. and call for the presses to stop 
at Atlas II ;-)

[cobirds] Whimbrel at Cherry Creek

[Glenn Walbek]

Folks,

Gene Rutherford found a Whimbrel this morning on the swim beach at Cherry Creek 
State Park.  The bird stayed long enough for a couple of folks to see it before 
the onslaught of state park goers sent it to another latitude.  Ebird does not 
consider this a rarity, although I have seen only three at Cherry Creek prior 
to today.

[cobirds] Re: Summer Tanager, Tempel Grove, Bent County

[Glenn Walbek]

Folks,

Loch Kilpatrick, Paul Differding, Lisa Edwards, Kara Carragher and I saw 
and photographed this first year male Summer Tanager yesterday at Tempel 
Grove.  It was one of very few eastern migrants observed in SE Colorado 
this weekend.  As Duane eluded to, Swainson's Thrush migration is in full 
force.  White-crowned Sparrows were observed in amazing numbers and 
Broad-winged Hawks were seen in many favorable woodlots.  Otherwise 
migration seemed relatively slow even for Colorado breeding species.  Maybe 
the best news, we were able to submit an ebird checklist with shorebirds 
for Upper Queens Reservoir.  The Indian reservoirs in Kiowa county are full 
of water!

Some photos of the spiffy tanager can be seen here..

[cobirds] Lincoln Co. arrivals

[Glenn Walbek]

Folks,

Once again I am performing surveys in Lincoln Co. this spring season.  Some 
of the recent arrivals include: Four Mountain Plovers seen today in a 
sprouting winter wheat field.  This is a week earlier than last year and 
the earliest I have seen this species in Colorado.  Three Sage Thrashers 
were observed in various locations, usually involving wood (fences, wood 
piles).  Lastly, I observed a couple of thousand McCown's Longspurs during 
the past 2 days.  They are using last year's stubble fields and this year's 
wheat fields, adjacent to short grass prairie.  I noticed longspurs in 
amazing numbers last spring in this area and this spring appears to be 
beginning the same.  I am certain a few McCown's and Chestnut-collared 
Longspurs overwintered here with thousands of Lapland Longspurs, but the 
numbers of McCown's I am seeing now is way too great for wintering birds. 
 There are a handful of Chestnut-collared Longspurs mixed in, and may be 
the over-wintering population.  The longspurs are mostly in breeding 
plumage.  I was hoping to get some looks at Lapland Longspurs in breeding 
plumage before they flew north, however I have not seen nor heard any in 2 
days of surveying.  Spring has arrived.

Should you plan to look for birds south of Arriba, please stay on county 
roads.  Not surprisingly, the birds frequent the gravel roads during 
inclement weather.

[cobirds] Pacific Loon, Chatfield, JeffCo

[Glenn Walbek]

A juvenile plumage, Pacific Loon can be seen from the fisherman's pier at 
Chatfield, but best from the elevated shoreline to the southwest.  Earlier I 
observed a male, Barrow's Goldeneye at Cherry Creek Res.

Re: [cobirds] Myiarchus flycatcher, Roxborough SP

[Glenn Walbek, Castle Rock, CO]

Folks,I spoke to Peter Pereira.  The myiarchus photographed yesterday was just outside the arboretum at Chatfield, now known as the Denver Botanical Garden.  I and others suspect this is a Brown-crested Flycatcher, likely the same one from 3 weeks ago (see Mark Chavez's posts).  Should you happen to see this bird, call 720 560 3671 immediately!Glenn WalbekCastle Rock, COSent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROIDOn Nov 18, 2015 10:38 AM, Scott Somershoe  wrote:Passing along some info.  Peter Pereira posted a photo to a Cornell Bird Facebook page asking for ID of a Myiarchus flycatcher from Roxborough SP, Douglas Co., and the photo was taken yesterday (11/17/15).  Looks more brown-crested than ash-throated (because of back color), but there's just one photo available so far and it is fairly small, even on a large monitor. I'm not saying what it is from this one little image!  We don't know where the bird was actually found, but the bird was perched in a juniper with snow on it.  I guess this could be brown-crested from Chatfield Botanical Gardens from a few weeks ago, but who knows.  Birds fly.  I'm guessing as more info is available, it'll be posted here, but Sean Walters and I wanted to get the word out.  Wish I could go looking around!Good birding,Scott SomershoeLittleton CO

[cobirds] More odd couples

[Glenn Walbek]

Although I have probably seen them together in Lamar, I was a bit surprised to 
get 7 Scaled Quail on the same ebird list with a Red-bellied Woodpecker today 
in northern Lincoln County, slightly out of range for both species.

[cobirds] Possible Arctic Tern, Chatfield Douglas, Co.

[Glenn Walbek, Castle Rock, CO]

Folks,

I spent some time studying an interesting sterna tern on the Chatfield sandspit 
this morning.  The bird is small, with a small dark bill, except a reddish 
center and inner bill.  In flight, the primaries were fairly uniform gray with 
white secondaries and secondary covert tips.  The tips of the primaries are 
dark.  There was no hint of a dark secondary bar.  Resting, the primaries look 
a tad darker than the mantle with pale outlines, but gray not black. I suspect 
the bird is a juvenile (see worn juvenile in Sibley's guide).  I will upload 
some photos later.

There are currently at least 12 Sabine's Gulls at Chatfield Reservoir.  I

Creek the past couple of days.  All of these are juvenile plumage birds except 
an adult was at Cherry Creek Saturday but not seen since.  There is also a 
fallout of Yellow-rumped Warblers at Chatfield this morning.  I have seen 
several dozen birds near the handicapped fisherman's parking area.

[cobirds] Re: Aurora Snowy Owl, YES

[Glenn Walbek]

Folks,

Here are directions to the Snowy Owl from Joe Roller:  Park at the intersection 
of Quantico and South Shore, take footpath towards small brown-roofed outhouse. 
 This is a bout a 20 minute walk and into the south entrance of the park 
(foot-traffic only).  The owl is visible from here with naked eye, but at a 
great enough distance as to not frighten it.  Good Luck if you go!
