[cobirds] Re: Needs List for COBirds Aggregated Yard Lists

Hi all,

The list keeps growing!  Now with Vermilion Flycatcher, Lesser Nighthawk, and White-eyed Vireo we're up to 382.  

I would like to apologize for any confusion related to my RFI about the Black-chinned Sparrow. I should have been more specific about which sighting I was referring to.  The report is 2010-115 from La Plata county. If anyone has any more specific information on this sighting they could share, that would be great. But I definitely want to avoid any sense of prying or not respecting privacy.   

Thanks again, and sorry for any confusion.

Sincerely, 

Thomas

Hi all,

For those interested, I thought I would share this list of species not yet ticked on the aggregate yard list. Many fall into the category of "yeah, right."  But, still a lot of potential. 

There are a few species I am wondering about for various reasons. 

Little Gull: Found in a pond in Pinery, (near or part of Parker, Douglas Cty, I believe) in November, 2004. As I recall, there were houses lining, or somewhat close to this pond.  

Snowy Owl: seen on many houses near Standley Lake< Jefferson Cty, in December 2017, so likely to be on someone's yard list.

Red-breasted Sapsucker: Seen in the Broadmoor golf course and surrounding yards.

Gyrfalcon: wintering in Larimer Cty several years near the landfill off of S Taft Hill Rd. There is a neighborhood just to the east of the fields on the east side of Taft Hill.

Black-chinned Sparrow:  One report on the CBRC page has the location of sighting listed as "Private Property."  It's not clear whether the birds were found by a landowner, or whether it was a yard or, more likely, part of an undeveloped large parcel or property.  

The following sightings have been added to Bryan's list, but were not sent to me directly, so have no names or counties associated with them. It would be great to be able to include those details. Please feel free to email me directly, or once the lists have been merged fill in the appropriate slots. 

Lesser Black-backed Gull

American Bittern

Acorn Woodpecker

Species total is now 378

Thanks to all who are contributing!

Thomas
