[cobirds] Pueblo warblers and hummingbird on Jan 2, 2025

The Bay-breasted Warbler and Northern Parula continue today in the Pueblo City Park.  Quite a few birders were around to see them today.  I was able to re-find Paul Hurtado's hummingbird from yesterday, and it appears the bird is a female Broad-tailed Hummingbird (the first winter hummingbird for Pueblo County).  Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers continue in Pueblo City Park, and the two Snow Geese and a hybrid Greater White-fronted x Canada/Cackling Goose also were around today.  It was fun to see many birders from around the state today in City Park, happy the warblers showed off to many of them.

[cobirds] Northern Shrike, Louisville

Birders--

An immature Northern Shrike was sitting in my maple tree at ~4:30 PM today!  First time in my yard.

It stayed for about 5 minutes.

[cobirds] Crissal Thrashers 3!-Cottonwood Canyon-Baca County

All,

Posting for Rachel H.  She and Mark P, Glenn W, Brad S, and Loch K all got on 2 CRTHs this morning at my original pin where I refound them (37.1360153, -103.0851714) and a 3rd bird was confirmed to be at the original location that Luke and Brian found the first bird at the intersection of 244 and road M (CR 5).

Bird is the word!

[cobirds] Mexican Duck (confirmations?) - Denver

During the urban Denver CBC, a small group of us visited Kennedy Golf Course (with permission of the good people who manage it). A quiet visit gained some intrigue as we worked out whether a duck we saw in the Cherry Creek is a Mexican Duck. In the field, we thought so, and we've heard from a few birders that this looks good for a Mexican Duck, but I'd love some additional thoughts. Zero experience with this species, I have. 

eBird checklist with photos: https://ebird.org/checklist/S207542572.

The duck did a few somersaults in the water, which was neat, and seemed at least a little estranged from the group of Mallards he was near.

[cobirds] Pueblo warblers and hummingbird on Jan 1st

Both Bay-breasted Warbler and Northern Parula were seen in the NE and E portions of Pueblo City Park today.  Paul Hurtado earlier this morning, found a Hummingbird, likely Rufous/Allen's in the park as well.  He showed me the photo on his phone, showing a pretty rufous back.  Hopefully it turned up again, this is the 1st ever hummingbird sighting for Pueblo during the winter.  The Bay-breasted Warbler was also a first winter sighting for Pueblo, as well.  Several people with better cameras got photos after the original sighting.
