Cobirds:
Several things of note:
Steve Frye's Wild Bird Center outing found about 40 common redpolls at Baseline Reservoir this morning. Look for them feeding on the ground along Cherryvale Road on the west side of the reservoir. As of 10:30 am they were still there, feeding in weedy, sandy patches fairly close to the road. Binocs are ok, but scopes are better.
Also at Baseline Reservoir there are 5 tundra swans and one American white pelican. The pelican (assuming its the same one) has been there for over two weeks.
There are reports of winter\pacific wrens at 75th and Boulder Creek (Heatherwood Trail) and Pela Crossing - but I have not confirmed them.
Raptor numbers are increasing throughout Boulder county with the following been seen over the last two days:
Bald eagles
Golden eagles
Northern harriers
Coopers hawk
Sharp shinned hawk
American kestrels
Red-tailed hawks - at least 50
Cedar waxwing numbers are increasing. I saw a flock of over 100 near Centenial Middle School a few days ago.
Mountain chickadees are moving down into east Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, and further east - in the dozens.
Pine siskins are moving east in small numbers through the same neighborhoods.
Ditto on red breated nuthatches.
