[cobirds] Rose breasted grosbeak - Boulder

All:

        Gregory Canyon am today:

 

male Rose Breasted Grosbeak - 1 - attempting to copulate with female grosbeak, and then fighting with a black-headed grosbeak.

 

Broad tailed hummingbird - dozens of males are now in display fights.  Numerous chases.

 

Yellow breasted chat - 11 - gathering nesting materials, singing.

 

Gray catbird - only 2

 

Black headed grosbeak - 12 - singing males, and females foraging

 

And.... yellow warblers, MacGillvray's warbler, Virginia's warblers, house wrens, dozens of spotted towhees, and lazuli bunting. 

 

Great horned owls - young still on nest sites in several locations around Boulder County

 

Common snapping turtle - at Twin Lakes this morning - very large individual crossing from one lake to the other (snapping turtles will take goslings and ducklings in the water). 

 

Happy birding,   John T -  (Tumasonis) - Louisville CO
