Re: [cobirds] GARAGNEY Larimer County

Eric et al.,

The 1996 Boulder County occurrence of Garganey was at Sombrero Marsh (as was the March 1992 male Garganey).
I saw the PAIR of Garganeys on 1996 April 24 -- they had been reported on the Rare Bird Alert and were seen 
by many people. By that time I was thinking these were not that unusual (twice in 4 years)!!

Descriptions of both sets of birds are included in my e-bird reports for those dates based on my notes taken at the time.  
There was no reason to suspect any "problems" with the 1996 birds -- though Garganey provenance could always be questions --
no sign of captivity. Birds on both dates were in striking near-breeding plumage.

Hi everyone,

eBird shows three occurrences of Garganey for Colorado – 1990 (Jackson Res, Morgan Cty), 1992 and 1996 (both at Sombrero Marsh, Boulder Cty). The '90 and '92 records are reflected in the official CBRC documentation, but there appears to be none for the 1996 occurrence. And there appear not to be any rejected or "unaccepted" records for Garganey at any time (e.g., no rejection due to possible provenance concerns).

Does anyone know why the 1996 occurrence was not documented with the CBRC? Aside from perhaps observers then thinking, "Well, someone else will document it," was there possibly some other consideration?

Cobirders,

 

Correction to my earlier post, there are only two previously documented records of this species in the state.  This will be the third once everyone submits their sightings to the Colorado Bird Records Committee.

 

Good Birding,

Cobirders,

 

Note that this is only the second documented record in the state of this species.  Mother's Day picnic at Boyd Lake anyone?
