[cobirds] Update on Barr Lake reinforcement project

Hi Co-Birders,

Bird Conservancy of the Rockies is sharing here/below an update on the dike reinforcement project at the Barr Lake. After more than a year-long pause, FRICO will resume work on July 20.

I am excited to announce that, after two years in a temporary location because of the construction, we will return to the original/traditional site for banding this fall! FRICO was able to maintain most of the habitat in that area, and we are hoping/expecting a more normal season this year and going forward. We look forward to seeing many of you! Registration is required and is now open – here is the link.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Meredith McBurney
Bander, Barr Lake Banding Station

Birders,

Please be cautious when using Merlin to identify a bird, especially when it reports a rare bird, like a Black Phoebe.

Its call notes are very similar to some calls of the Eastern Kingbird, which is nesting in the Walden/Sawhill Ponds area.

You can review the new terms here. If you’re based in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, we’ve also provided a summary of the key changes to the EEA version of our terms.

At a glance, here’s what this update means for you:

In general:
- We added a section to help you better understand why our services may access the internet when not actively engaged, to encourage you to check your Internet service plan and your device and network settings, as each of those may affect your costs.
- We updated and clarified our Settling disputes, governing law, and courts section.
- We make it clearer how various sections in our terms relate to each other.
If you’re based in the EEA:
- In addition to the changes in the In general section, we updated various sections to reflect the latest EEA laws and regulations that apply to our services, including:
  - Google’s obligation to make legally-required updates to our digital content, services, and goods.
  - A new, online “withdrawal button” in the EEA instructions on withdrawal section.
- We also removed the Handling requests for your data section, because we’re centralizing our data disclosure language on our main data disclosure policy page.
If you’re based outside the EEA:
- In addition to the changes in the In general section, we added new disclosures and disclaimers, including ones about AI outputs.
- If you’re based in India, we also added new reporting language about our obligations if you violate applicable law.

Re: [cobirds] Calliope HB’s

We had a calliope yesterday at one of our feeders and at our fountain. I got photos but sun on the wings made it look washed out.

Peter,

I had my FOY Calliope (that I know of) this morning in South Boulder. David Suddjian just had a Bird Bomb episode about the hummers coming through Colorado. A good watch/listen if you are interested in the migration and who will be where and when. :) You can find it on the DFO FB page.

Still waiting for a Rufous.

We had a male Calliope Hummer at the feeder on the 7th of this month. Just here for a day.
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light for me on fall migration time lines. Is this a typical time period for male Calliope migration for this area?

Thanks,

Peter Hark
