Re: [cobirds] Golden-crowned Warbler (Cheyenne)

I was one of the merry band of miscreants who joined Dave for good looks at the warbler. What a great find! And as Dave mentioned, what are the odds? One has to to wonder how many “mega’s” wander into and out of Colorado without ever being detected. On a side note- after observing three or

[cobirds] Possible Northern Cardinal in Thornton

Hello all; I have an unconfirmed report from a non-birder of a singing male Northern Cardinal at Carpenter Park in Thornton. It is said to be in the NW green area between the two ponds. I don’t have time to check it out, and it may be a wild Cardinal chase but if you’re over there anyway... (btw,

[cobirds] Wood Thrush in Pueblo 5/22

[cobirds] Buff-breasted Sandpiper Kiowa County

Birders, Due to poor reception I was not able to send this out sooner, but Jim Merritt and I had a Buff-breasted Sandpiper (photographed) on the south side of Neenoshe Reservoir at around 3 pm today 5/22 after having nabbed the Golden-crowned Warbler at Mitchek Ranch. 1-2 hrs later when we

Hi Bill, There were a good number of vocal Least Flycatchers flitting around Mitchek Ranch today, and this looks like one of them. David Tonnessen Colorado Springs, CO On Tuesday, May 22, 2018 at 7:19:25 PM UTC-6, kickback wrote: > > Saw this guy at the Golden-crowned warbler site (in

[cobirds] Cheyenne County Road 9 at Mitchek Ranch

In talking with a person who was at the Golden-crowned Warbler site today, and based on what I saw yesterday, I think it would be best for all concerned if birders all park on the same side of County Road 9, even if it means having to walk a little more. West side is probably best. There is

[cobirds] Unsuccessful search for Brambling, Boulder, 5/22

Dear Cobirders, I spent 2.5 hrs this afternoon searching for the Brambling at the Hawthorne gardens in north Boulder and did not find it. There are feeders in at least three locations in the gardens, at which there were House Finch, Am Goldfinch, House Sparrow, and C Grackle. Also, in the

[cobirds] Walker Road Gravel Pond - Douglas

On way back from Golden-crowned Warbler, YEA thanks Glenn, stopped at Walker Gravel Pond and Nancy had spotted a loon. I believe it is a first summer Common Loon. Distant digiscope photos on list. eBird Checklist – Walker Road Gravel Pond, Douglas County, Colorado, US – Tue May 22, 2018 – 8

[cobirds] Re: Wood Thrush in Pueblo 5/22

If anyone else is looking for this Wood Thrush in Pueblo County, at 10:45am, a group of kids came by, and Dan Stringer and I saw it fly across the river toward a Russian olive close to the River. If it stays over there, the closest parking lot, is Valco Ponds parking lot, along Hwy 96, and walk

[cobirds] Brambling ??? Boulder

Another call to Denver Audubon info line that needs checking. And belated, somewhat. Tom Scott thinks he saw a Brambling at Hawthorne Gardens in Boulder. He says it doesn't match the picture of a Spotted Towhee. He saw it last Friday & last Sunday (early afternoon on Sunday).
