[cobirds] New Year - Great Horned Owl - Denver

Not a surprise, but a minute or two after minute, I saw a Great Horned Owl perched on a tree just north of the Dunkirk pond at First Creek at Green Valley Ranch.  Throw in some geese and the Denver Urban count is up to three species already.  I'd have stayed out longer to listen, but all I could hear were fireworks and geese.

Re: [cobirds] Why Female Red-winged Blackbirds only?

This thread caught my eye.  I saw huge flock out north of DIA and noticed the same thing after looking a photos.  Only a few males mixed in as far as I can tell.

See high resolution photo...  https://flic.kr/p/2kntCXj

Hi All,

I'm out here in the Bay Area, CA but this topic recently surfaced with regards to observers noting that Red-winged Blackbirds appear in single-sex flocks near the coast in winter. Alvaro Jaramillo, who literally wrote the book on New World Blackbirds (icterids), noted the following.

Often they are in all female flocks around here, and only in winter. The males are not as common on the coast as the females, but they are frequent in the Central Valley in winter. Again, they segregate in winter into single sex flocks. 

When asked if Tricolored Blackbirds segregate into single sex flocks, this was Alvaro's response:

It is a classic Red-winged behavior, it seems to me that Tricolored
blackbirds are mixed but in general I see a preponderance of males on the
coast. Yellow-headed Blackbirds also segregate, it would be interesting to
see what Great-tailed Grackles do in areas where they are common. The reason
is that sexual size dimorphism may be one of the factors in sex segregated
flocks. Certainly oropendolas in the Neotropics segregate during the
non-breeding season, and they have the largest size dimorphism of any bird.
Great-tailed grackles are not too far behind.

I hope this info is of interest.

All males here as well,  both along the South Platte in Denver and on the Barr Lake CBC.  Definitely a mix of young and adult plumaged birds.  And try as I might none of them could be converted to Rusty's.

I have as many as 50 or more Red-winged Blackbirds swarming my feeders every morning. Why are they all females? Males do not look like females in winter do they? This means they must spend the winter in different places. If so, what is the rationale for that? I cannot think of any other species that segregates by gender in winter.

Hi,

I was wondering if things have changed with this. Today my JeffCO need alerts have exploded with people going to chase this bird. I was not planing on chasing it out of respect for the owners, as Mark says it's their private home. Or is it OK to visit the park only? I would love to see a White-wing but I don't want to if it's not welcome.

Thank you

RE: [cobirds] WWCR

Hi Brian,

 

I too wasn't going to chase this bird out of respect for the owner's wishes, but then I saw Joey Negeann's eBird post referencing the CFO Facebook post from the homeowner. I'm not on that group, but here is Joey's eBird list that mentions the rules for viewing it…

 

https://ebird.org/checklist/S78255830

 

It might be best to go in the morning, as I was there for a couple hours this afternoon and it wasn't seen for most of the afternoon.

Re: [cobirds] WWCR

I want to say that the over 100 birders that came to view and photograph the red-bellied woodpecker that has been coming to my feeder since November 24th have been very respectful of my yard, my neighborhood and the bird. Everyone viewed the bird without entering the yard or invading my privacy. I was glad to see so many enjoying this special bird! By the way the bird is still here!!

[cobirds] Re: Birding Oklahoma

Sorry to be late to the party, but I was born and raised in OK. Wanted to let you know just how diverse and rich the birding action is in my old digs. A few really good spots in Oklahoma for birding that you might want to consider are Great Salt Plains NWR (https://www.audubon.org/important-bird-areas/salt-plains-national-wildlife-refuge), Red Slough WMA (https://visitmccurtaincounty.com/parks/forests-wetlands/red-slough/#:~:text=Red%20Slough%20Wildlife%20Management&text=A%20favorite%20of%20bird%2Dwatchers,and%20black%2Dbellied%20whistling%20duck.), Little River NWR (https://www.travelok.com/listings/view.profile/id.4578), and McCurtain County Wilderness Area (https://www.audubon.org/important-bird-areas/mccurtain-county-wilderness-area). These are pretty far apart and I'm not sure if you have several days to bird the state. But...have fun!

[cobirds] A special thanks

Friends,

As we approach January, and the final decisions affecting the fate of Chico Basin Ranch (El Paso and Pueblo counties) loom large, I'd like to take a moment to thank all of you who've taken part in this endeavor.

Most of Aiken Audubon's energy this year has been spent working on protecting this remarkable and highly biodiverse 87,000-acre property, which has recorded some 345 bird species over the years. Our concern for the ranch has led to new and stronger connections and partnerships with many birding groups and environmental organizations in the state, which we value greatly. And while many organizations have signed on to our letters, DFO and the Colorado Natural Heritage Program stand out as having gone above and beyond to offer support, as have many individuals from all over the state. We are most thankful to you all.

As a reminder, your attention and comments will still be needed, and you'll be hearing from me in another week or so, but in the meantime, all of us at Aiken offer our sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone who has played a role, large or small, in this process.

It is this kind of coming together for the greater good that brings me great hope for the future of bird preservation and land conservation.

With gratitude, and wishes for a new and improved 2021,

Linda

The initial meeting place and time, i.e., the overlook parking lot and 8AM, are unchanged.

Most importantly, those interested in viewing the ponds within the power station must let me know ASAP so that I may submit their names in advance to power company security.  This is the only opportunity for birders to gain access to the heated water discharge area which attracts huge numbers of water birds in winter.

Let me know if you are interested!

Re: [cobirds] Why Female Red-winged Blackbirds only?

Like Charlie, I did the Barr Lake CBC, and my section was a big open area north and east of the lake.  I found adult males in a couple of marshy areas and then found a tree-full of females (perhaps some young males....) in a yard in a more residential area.  Sibley says they "often segregate by sex".

[cobirds] Swans at Douglas Res on 12/29 (Larimer)

5 swans are at the north end of Douglas Reservoir, which was about half open today (12/29).  I am fairly certain they are Tundra Swans but will admit to chickening out on a walk from the west side parking lot that would have put me a little closer.  My time was short and the wind was sharp.  The only other waterfowl on the res were about 10 Canada Geese.  No terrestrial species observed.

Re: [cobirds] WWCR

COBirders -- Please remember that you NEVER post someone's personal address without their approval.  The first clue is that the homeowner posted her checklist at the park.  There is nothing wrong with looking for the bird and being successful. You just view the bird and post back at the park. You need to remember this is someone's home and neighborhood.  Joe Roller was always great about getting info from the homeowner and getting the rules out to the community. This is just common sense!!

We have lost several good birding locations because of birders' rude behavior.  There was a great location up in Summit County that had all the rosies and mountain species.  Several birders knew of the location who were approved by the homeowner.  It was an amazing experience to start the new year!  He only asked that we stay in the street, respect his neighbors, and not post his exact location to social media.  Well, someone posted the exact location and it became a circus!  Not only did he shut it down to birders,  but he took all his feeders down.  I spoke with him after the fact, and he said birders were walking into his backyard, parking in the driveway, and upsetting the neighborhood.  He was very sad that his great backyard experience was taken from him.  In another instance, we had access to an Inca Dove.  The homeowners were really sweet and allowed viewing.  They eventually shut it down for their privacy and the health of the bird.  She had Joe post that viewing was over.  Birders continued to disrespect her wishes for days.  I asked a birder why she went after the post and she stated "The street is public property so screw them."  Yes, the street may be public, but you are looking with binoculars into their property!  This type of behavior makes me ashamed of those in our birding community who conduct themselves in this manner.

Re: [cobirds] Why Female Red-winged Blackbirds only?

Hi All,

I'm out here in the Bay Area, CA but this topic recently surfaced with regards to observers noting that Red-winged Blackbirds appear in single-sex flocks near the coast in winter. Alvaro Jaramillo, who literally wrote the book on New World Blackbirds (icterids), noted the following.

Often they are in all female flocks around here, and only in winter. The males are not as common on the coast as the females, but they are frequent in the Central Valley in winter. Again, they segregate in winter into single sex flocks. 

When asked if Tricolored Blackbirds segregate into single sex flocks, this was Alvaro's response:

It is a classic Red-winged behavior, it seems to me that Tricolored
blackbirds are mixed but in general I see a preponderance of males on the
coast. Yellow-headed Blackbirds also segregate, it would be interesting to
see what Great-tailed Grackles do in areas where they are common. The reason
is that sexual size dimorphism may be one of the factors in sex segregated
flocks. Certainly oropendolas in the Neotropics segregate during the
non-breeding season, and they have the largest size dimorphism of any bird.
Great-tailed grackles are not too far behind.

I hope this info is of interest.

Re: [cobirds] Why Female Red-winged Blackbirds only?

My guess is that the birds your seeing are young males. Many males, especially juveniles have a rusty edge to their feathers that will wear off my spring. This may make them appear like females.

 From what I have been seeing near Fort Collins and Loveland, all the Red-wings that I am seeing are males.

[cobirds] Re: Birding Oklahoma

Thanks to all who responded. Sooner Lake sounds like the ticket.

Hello John,

Keep in mind I've only spend a couple days birding in OK. Sooner Lake on the west side of the lake is one of the most relaible. It is where I got my Smith's Longspurs. They tend to stay in the grass though, so not easy to see at first. LeConte's Sparrows are there as well, usually in cattails, also tends to stay in vegetation. Apparently there are some spots where they get Smith's Longspurs just outside of Oklahoma City, but we didn't see them there. They tend to want to keep most of the activity on here about Colorado birds, but I would be happy to give you information about a couple other spots via email.

[cobirds] Goose vs Eagle, South Platte River, Arapahoe County

Today walking along my patch, the South Platte River from Bowls Ave to the Northern Wildlife area near Reyonold's Landing I got to watch some serious drama unfold. It happened right across from the Denver Seminary, upstream from Hudson Gardens. I was walking back home after a rather good day when I saw a Bald Eagle come flying fast upstream. The eagle was flying no more then probably ten feet above the river. Every duck and goose in the river took flight.

Except one rather brave Canada Goose.

The goose raised it's wings, puffed up and stood erect in an effort to look bigger as the eagle closed. The eagle made a dive for the goose and the goose then jumped at the eagle snapping with it's bill. The eagle pulled up and away from the goose and continued on it's hunt. The goose went about it's life on the river. Survival of the toughest and bravest in this case. It all happened to fast for me to get photos. Probably in 30 seconds.

In addition to this excitement I saw a Northern Shrike near the Wild Life area, my first patch recorded. I also saw female Prairie Falcon perched on a telephone pole (my second record here), in the same area as the goose battle but earlier. There is a Say's Phoebe wintering at Reynold's Landing, there was also on there for the 2018-19 winter.

Good and exiting birding,

Brian Johnson

Most importantly, those interested in viewing the ponds within the power station must let me know ASAP so that I may submit their names in advance to power company security.  This is the only opportunity for birders to gain access to the heated water discharge area which attracts huge numbers of water birds in winter.

Let me know if you are interested!
