[cobirds] Boulder County Audubon Special Program Tuesday November 26

Boulder County Audubon Society invites you to attend our upcoming special November Program, Tuesday November 26.  We are hosting Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald, a standup comedian and Denver Veterinarian.  We think you will enjoy a different program than we usually offer!  Dr. Fitzgerald is well-known around the Front Range and promises to bring some much-needed humor to our community, plus he will present "Why Conservation Matters" with photos and videos of his expeditions and conservation work with animals..

We are requiring a $7 admission, and some tickets are still available.  Get your tickets before they sell out!  Details and ticket link here:

Re: [cobirds] Midges (Larimer)

Incredible image.  And hope for those scattered insect seekers still lurking about.

On 14 November 2024 Lori Brummer went to see the Black-throated Blue Warbler found earlier that day by Lori Zabel.  Lori B. got the photo below of the bird sitting on a bare branch in an aerial sea of large chironomid midges.  She posted it to her eBird checklist and was nice enough to let me share it here as further evidence of what this beautiful, somewhat migration-challenged bird utilized to cope while heading southeast.  I think the midge species shown matches the big gray one I posted close-ups of yesterday.

 

                                                             

 

Another eBirder, Belle Farley Ciezak, posted on 14 November 2024 a pic of the Black-throated Blue Warbler (checklist ML626263053) that shows one of these midges in the beak of the bird.

 

Case closed.

 

I thank Brendan Beers for calling both Lori B.'s and Belle's photos to my attention.

[cobirds] Say’s Phoebe, Boulder County

A Say's Phoebe has been "living" at the Louisville Fire Station on Via Appia for at least a month (I notice that it was recently reported on eBird).  Sometimes it flies over to the Louisville Arboretum or even to the football field to the south.  When I go to the Recreation Center, which is across the street from the fire station, I usually hear it calling.

Hi Brandon. This is Pam Lauman from Grand Valley Audubon Society in Grand Junction. Our Christmas Bird Count date is not included and it is December 15. Doug Diekman is our coordinator and his email is dadiekman@msn.com. His phone number is ‭(970) 312-4518‬. I also noticed that Jackson Trappett is listed and I am not sure if that is still the case. Thanks for all your work.
