[cobirds] Re: BRONZED COWBIRD photographed in Lamar by Jill White Smith

Cobirders,

The 1990 Bronzed Cowbird was seen at the Carter's yard in Lakewood and documented with the CBRC.   The following year in May 1991 a Bronzed Cowbird appeared again in their backyard.  I do not remember how long the bird stayed the second time but I saw it on May 12th.  I recall the assumption at the time was that it was the same bird that had visited the year before but who knows?  There are no accepted records for the second appearance (assuming that it was not written up by anyone).  There is only reference to it being reported on the Rare Bird Alert Tape in May in the Lark Bunting.

Good Birding,

FYI, Lamar birder Jill White Smith photographed a BRONZED COWBIRD in her backyard on April 6.  She noted the red eyes were unusual and sought help on What's This Bird facebook page who identified the species.  She has posted a couple of photos of the bird on the ABA Rare Bird Alert facebook site. Have we had BRONZED COWBIRDS sighted in Colorado before?
