RE: [cobirds] Re: condors in CO were NOT countable

Hi Bill & All,

Another question for my old fuzzy mind.  There was one Whooping Crane that showed up on the front range, as I recall somewhere a little east of Ft. Collins or Loveland.  I was still with FWS and made a trip out there to check on it and the contingency plan that I recall was in place since I believe it was in the fall in hunting season.  But I don't remember if it was from the Gray's Lake, Idaho experimental flock or the Wood Buffalo flock that strayed a little further west than the usual migration route.

Brandon and COBirders,

 

I asked that question to a member of the ABA Rules Committee, Nick Block, and here is his interpretation of the new listing rules regarding the experimental population of Whooping Cranes that stopped in Colorado on their way to central New Mexico for the winter and to Idaho to breed with Sanhill Cranes and not Whoopers in the spring and summer.

Hi Bill,

 

I do not think these would be countable if they did not hatch eggs with their own species. I'll let you know if the RSEC as a whole thinks differently, though.

 

Cheers,

Nick Block

There seems to be some people who didn't see any of Whooping Cranes (there have only been a few -- though many people back in the 1990s saw the juvenile Whooping Crane around Thurston Reservoir, in Prowers County) in eastern Colorado, wanting to know, if they can now count the birds that migrated from Idaho to New Mexico, and stopped off in the San Luis Valley.  Does anyone know about the count-ability of those birds in Colorado?
