Re: [cobirds] Re: Eastern Wood Pewee- Crow Valley CG - and around Weld

I guess per ABA that I should not have used the recording as it is a heavily birded area and a rare bird.  It is something I use sparingly on the whole, however I will be more mindful in the future.

 

My apologies to anyone that my use of a recording (played once) might have offended.

Good question, Gary.

The subject of the ethics of using tape playback is covered in the 

ABA code of ethics, which CFO, DFO, RMBO advise their members to follow.

Here is a question for the group ... not judging anyone just asking ... ethics of using bird call recordings--human or electronic during breeding season?

For some reason cobirds does not like me today!  Third time trying to post this...

 

Crow Valley was filled with normal breeding birds and few migrants this AM.  Best bird was an Eastern Wood-pewee, which was silent until I played a recording, at which point it vocalized in response, supporting the physical traits of very pale chest (almost no vest), pale all orange lower mandible, and two uniformly bright (almost white) wingbars.  It also shows the slight cocked-tail pose typical of Eastern per ABA article (http://www.aba.org/birding/v40n5p34.pdf).  I uploaded a couple of photos at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/aphelionart/

 

Other birds of interest include female Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Northern Waterthrush, and a pair of wood ducks (maybe only notable because I have never seen them here).  On the whole not many warblers there today.

 

I cruised through WCR 59 ponds, loloff, lower latham, Stewart's, and Bebee Draw and although a good number of species I really didn't turn up anything truly noteworthy at any of those locations.
