The 17th consecutive annual Christmas Bird Count was held in Loveland, CO on January 1, 2017. Participation was down slightly (50 participants) but weather was pleasant and birds were plentiful, with almost 46,000 tallied (2nd highest ever). We surpassed our previous highest species total with 105, including two new species for Count Day: Swamp Sparrow and Glaucous-winged Gull. Other rare species included Common Loon, Western Grebe, Eared Grebe, Snow Goose, Barrow's Goldeneye, Long-tailed Duck, Iceland Gull, Mew Gull, Great Black--backed Gull, Northern Goshawk, Virginia Rail, White-winged Dove, Long-eared Owl, Barn Owl, Northern Saw-whet Owl, American Pipit, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and Lesser Goldfinch. New high counts were achieved for Cackling Goose (19300), Green-winged Teal (32), Bufflehead (15), Ruddy Duck (68), Thayer's Gull (6), Lesser Black-backed Gull (5), Belted Kingfisher (22), Pygmy Nuthatch (217), American Dipper (27), Townsend's Solitaire (95) and Great-tailed Grackle (650). We failed to detect any of the following species that were expected: Northern Pygmy-Owl, Northern Shoveler, Northern Pintail, Killdeer, Harris's Sparrow and Pine Siskin. Count Week ends tomorrow, Jan 4, so if you see one of these in the Loveland CBC circle, please let me know. A special thanks to everyone involved.
