[cobirds] Murrelet Migration

Cobirders,

 

As Brandon alluded to earlier today, it is the historical start of the murrelet migration in Colorado.  Well, that may be a little misleading to the less informed, but 67% of all sightings have occurred between November 2nd and November 28th.  Okay, full disclosure.  Six of the nine documented Colorado sightings have occurred in that date range.  The little buggers tend to pop up days after a cold front sweeps down from the NW Washington State area like occurred last week, which means that Brandon was right on track getting out and looking for them today.

 

It looks like another cold front may be tracking down our way next week to present another opportunity.  So, get out and canvas the lakes this month looking for those bobbing bobbers.  And with all of the activity of late, we better make sure the Last Chance pond gets covered as well!

 

Good birding,

Steve Stachowiak
