Birding Brazil with John Vanderpoel
|
|
Tuesday, November 27, 2018, 7:15p.m.
Stick around after the Holiday Sale to hear all about birding (and mammaling) the Southern Amazon and Pantanal of Brazil from John Vanderpoel.
John Vanderpoel is a lifelong birder, the owner of Peregrine Video Productions, and creator of The Advanced Birding Video Series with Jon Dunn that includes The Large Gulls of North America, The Small Gulls of North America, and Hummingbirds of North America. In 2011 John committed to doing a Big Year and netted 743 birds (+1 provisional). He has been interviewed for The Atlantic and documented his Big Year adventures on his blog, Big Year 2011. Although he is a fanatic lister of birds in North America, occasionally he ventures out of the country, including a trip to Brazil this past September.

Need a Wingman? Cooperative Behavior in White-ruffed Manakins
|
|
Tuesday, January 22, 2019, 7:15p.m.
Take a break from the cold and go for an adventure to Costa Rica and insights into why some males may cooperative in their courtship of females.
Teen naturalist Jasey Chanders will start off the evening with a short presentation on bird banding in the mountains of Costa Rica. She and her parents spent a month last summer on a farm near Monteverde banding birds and learning about avian ecology and conservation. Jasey is a skilled artist, naturalists, and neighborhood activist who has been studying and writing about birds for four years.
Megan Jones Patterson will then weave together research on cooperative display behavior, tales of tropical fieldwork, and videos of dancing birds to provide us insight into why White-ruffed Manakin males frequently court females with another male at his side. From 2008–2013, Megan spent 3-5 months a year studying these small neotropical passerines on the Atlantic slope of Costa Rica.

All program meetings are held at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder,
5001 Pennsylvania Ave (west off 55th St. between Arapahoe and Baseline).

77th Annual Boulder Christmas Bird Count – December 16, 2018
|
|
Whether you have decades of Christmas Bird Counts behind you or this will be your first one, there is room for you in the Boulder Circle of the Christmas Bird Count held on Sunday December 16, 2018. Not familiar with Christmas Bird Counts? Learn more on the
National Audubon website
about the history of this annual tradition that is close to the heart of many bird enthusiasts and now occurs throughout the Americas. We work in teams to count the birds so don’t be shy in participating. This is a great event to get to know other local birders.
If you have participated in past years, contact your group leader to see if they’ll be covering the same patch again. If you are new or if your former group isn’t going out again, contact Bill Schmoker (
bill.schmoker@gmail.com
), our count coordinator, to join or lead a team. Anything can happen (both weather and wildlife) and it usually does. If you prefer, you can also stay at home and count at your feeder, while sipping mulled wine and munching snacks.
Following a full day in the field (for most of us; some half-day groups may be available), we celebrate together at the compilation supper. At the supper we hear about the great finds of the day, chat with folks we may not have seen for a year and meet new people, and turn in our datasheets to compile all the species and individuals that we’ve seen that day. After losing our long-time compilation location and without anyone volunteering their home or event space, this year we will regroup at
The Taj
(2630 Baseline, near intersection with Broadway). The dinner buffet costs $15 and Boulder County Audubon will pay $8 towards this cost, so participants will have a $7 dinner. Participants will also be responsible for their own drinks, taxes, and tip.
All payments must be with cash or a check
– no credit card payments will be accepted for this event. RSVP for dinner is needed.

The Poetry of a Big Night
|
|
The Big Night
it starts with the usual fanfare:
sun collapsing behind peaks
shooting gold beams and rose glow
at every patient cloud in the sky
the lake's studded with choice birds
but we hurry past the improbably fine
ebony beaks of blue-legged avocets,
praying for a rock dove on a transmission line
we're out to claim the gift of night
to bathe in those silvered greys and midnight-blues,
to splash in sparkling scintillas of watery moon,
maybe fireflies,
and Jupiter's tilted tiara
the creaking frogs and tinkling crickets
are just the backdrop for
the grebes and grasshopper sparrows
singing June night songs on the very edge of hearing
they make us quiet our feet
hold our breath
still our very heartbeats,
strain to see a floating profile
as it splits the sole broad beam of light
we eavesdrop on the gossiping chat
the click-clack rail
the great horned owl pair composing their grocery list,
and sometimes we do the calling,
discuss the warm night and occasional mosquito whine
with a highly civil screech owl
at last we listen to the wind race down the foothills
waiting for the moment charcoal-grey silence
breaks into violet-green song,
putting a warm end to
Beston's
austerity of stars

Front Range Birding Company Expands to Boulder: Optics, Seed, Talks, and Walks
By FRBC staff
|
|
Front Range Birding Company (FRBC)
, Metro Denver’s largest independent wild bird supply store, is coming to Boulder in early November! After growing their business in Littleton for 15 years, owners Tom and Dianne Bush look forward to the opportunity to serve Boulder’s active birding community.
FRBC carries fresh, premium wild bird seeds and blends - locally sourced whenever possible – that are selected for the birds we have in our area. A carefully curated variety of birdfeeders, bird baths, nest boxes, and hardware solutions will help you find just the right items for your porch, deck, or backyard. We have one of the largest selections of sports optics along the Front Range and we are an authorized dealer of Swarovski, Leica, Zeiss, Kowa, Vortex, and Opticron, as well as Manfrotto and Benro tripods, and Novagrade digiscoping adapters. Chip Clouse, former Natural Resources Specialist for City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks, former Education Director for the American Birding Association, and former optics rep, has the expertise and product knowledge to help you find the right binocular or spotting scope for you no matter your budget. As the new Manager for FRBC-Boulder, Chip is incredibly excited about returning to Boulder where his Colorado adventures began!
While FRBC strives to carry products to meet all your birding needs, we pride ourselves on being more than just a place to shop. FRBC-Boulder will offer in-store talks, workshops, and monthly bird walks to provide fun and educational opportunities to our customers. We partner with organizations such as the Crane Trust and Boulder-based ecotourism company, Reefs to Rockies, to offer additional programming and birding tours both locally and to birding hotspots throughout the country. Chip is leading a trip to South Texas hotspots in January 2019. Our partnership with Denver Audubon includes providing leaders for birding trips, cross-promotion of events, and the donation of a portion of Littleton store seed sales each month. This partnership has been a great success for Denver Audubon with donations totaling more than $4,000 last year. FRBC-Boulder is developing a similar partnership with Boulder County Audubon Society and looks forward to years of mutually-beneficial interactions with BCAS members.
Our community-focused business approach is one reason we recently earned the prestigious national “Best Small Store with a Birding Emphasis” award from Gold Crest Distributing, the nation’s largest distributor of wild bird and backyard nature products. Come see the FRBC difference at our
Boulder location,
5360 Arapahoe Avenue, Unit E
(near Snarf’s and Ozo Coffee).
FRBC looks forward to meeting you and becoming the local nature store for you and your family!

Participate in Bird Point Count Surveys Along St. Vrain Creek
|
|
|
|
In September of 2013, days of heavy rain led to devastating flooding throughout northern Colorado. In the city of Longmont, homes, businesses, and infrastructure were badly damaged, particularly along the St. Vrain Creek corridor. Shortly after the flood, Longmont began its
Resilient St. Vrain Project (RSVP)
with the twin aims of restoring the St. Vrain Greenway and mitigating damage from future floods by widening the St. Vrain Creek channel to accommodate 100-year flows. Following the completion of the project, it’s estimated that over 800 acres of land along the creek that is currently within the flood plain, will no longer be in the flood plain and will be suitable for development.
|
|
The citizen action group
Stand With Our St. Vrain Creek
formed in 2016 to be a voice for wildlife using the St. Vrain Creek corridor for food, shelter, raising young, and moving between the foothills and plains ecosystems. The group’s focus has been to protect the river and its surrounding riparian area from encroaching development, primarily by enforcing and strengthening the regulations surrounding Longmont’s current 150-foot riparian setback.
This past year, Stand With Our St. Vrain Creek, in partnership with Longmont’s Natural Resources Department, began bird surveys at two properties that will be impacted by further stages of the RSVP: Rogers Grove Natural Area and Golden Ponds Park. The City of Longmont has never before conducted comprehensive bird surveys within the city, so these surveys will provide an idea of what species are using the St. Vrain corridor in order to inform the RSVP going forward. The surveys will also serve as a baseline to monitor changes in species numbers and diversity resulting from the project.
Stand With Our St. Vrain Creek is currently looking for additional volunteers to conduct monthly surveys at Rogers Grove and Golden Ponds. Volunteers should be familiar with local bird species by sight and sound, be willing to commit to volunteering one to two mornings a month, and be familiar with or willing to learn point count survey methodology. If interested, please contact Jamie Simo at
standwithstvraincreek@gmail.com

2018 – The Year of the Bird – A Reflection
|
|
As we come to the close of 2018, let us reflect on the Year of the Bird and enjoy Juanita Roushdy’s essay on birds. Reprinted with permission from The Merganser,
Mid-Coast Audubon
’s newsletter.
If you take care of the birds, you take care of most of the big environmental problems in the world.
--Thomas E. Lovejoy, Tropical Conservation Biologist and National Geographic Fellow
This year, 2018, marks the centennial of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the most powerful and important bird-protection law ever passed. National Geographic, National Audubon Society, Cornell Lab of Ornithology and BirdLife International are joining with 100 other organizations and millions of individuals worldwide to celebrate 2018 as the Year of the Bird and to assure the protection of birds in the future.
Why do birds matter? Like us, birds need three things to survive: food water, and shelter. Their needs have not changed since the first known bird
Archaeopteryx
to today’s chickadee at our feeder or prehistoric man taking his first upright step to today’s tech hominid.
Birds predate humans by millions of years. As such, they have always been with us. They have become part of our being, our mythology, our history, and our lives. They have become teacher, muse, and companion. They have one skill that we do not: they can fly under their own power. That they could slip “the surly bonds of earth” is part of our fascination with and adulation of them through the ages.

In ancient Egypt, hieroglyphs in tombs show ibis, falcons, owls, vultures, geese, hoopoe, and other birds. Mummified birds found in tombs, which had a vent to the outside, are thought to have allowed the soul of the deceased to fly out on the wings of the bird. Petroglyphs in Australia from 50,000 years ago show an Emu-like bird now extinct. In North America, bird petroglyphs dating back to 2,500 BC have been found in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Deities, rulers, and healers in many ancient cultures wore headdresses imitating bird heads and beaks; it was believed to imbue them with unparalleled power.
Birds have inspired us with their beauty and song - peacock, nightingale, lark, cuckoo, dove, and many more. They know no geographic boundaries, so artifacts, drawings, songs, poems and more can be found in many cultures’ history or folklore. In the Shinto religion of Japan, birds figure prominently - cormorants, cranes, roosters, ravens.
In music, too, they have been immortalized. Two better known pieces are Ralph Vaughan William’s
Lark Ascending
and Beethoven’s
Pastoral Symphony, 2nd Movement
with instruments imitating a nightingale, a quail and cuckoo.
In literature, they have inspired us in joy and despair. An Anglo-Saxon poem (410-1066),
The Seafarer
, finds a sailor caught in a bitter winter ice storm at sea; he is in the depths of despair yet in birds finds comfort and escape:
At times I took to myself as pleasure,
the gannet’s noise
and the voice of the curlew
instead of the laughter of men,
the singing gull
instead of the drinking of mead.
Chaucer’s (1342-1400) witty poem
A Parliament of Fowl (Fouls)
is about a flock of birds, including ravens, eagles, ducks, swans, quail, sparrow, stork, geese and more, gathering on St. Valentine’s Day for a parliamentary debate to choose a mate for a female eagle. John Keats in despair finds solace in the nightingale’s song in his
Ode to a Nightingale
(1821):
Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird!
No hungry generations tread thee down;
The voice I hear this passing night was heard
In ancient days by emperor and clown.
Gerard Manley Hopkins (1877) in
The Windhover
(referring to the kestrel) perhaps sums up what we all feel upon seeing a bird demonstrate its flying prowess:
My heart in hiding. Stirred for a bird, – the achieve of, the mastery of the thing!
Paul Farley's
For the House Sparrow, in Decline
(2002) imagines,
|
|
a roofless world where no one hears your cheeps
only a starling's modem mimicry
will remind you how you once supplied
the incidental music of our lives.
Birds provide a metaphor for the crisis of our time. Birds have inspired us in other ways with their flying ability. The longest known nonstop flight was by a Bar-tailed Godwit, 7,145 miles in nine days. They make this migration annually. Birds moved Leonardo da Vinci in 1505 to write
Codex on the Flight of Birds
which was centuries before the Wright Brothers flight; it was used as a basis for their flight experiments. Birds are the reason that a lucky few can break “the surly bonds of earth” in a plane or rocket!!
Birds feed our soul and our bellies. Their beauty and song since time immemorial are constant - as is their ability to pollinate flowers, sow seeds, and control insects. Emily Dickinson opines in her poem,
“Hope” is the thing with feathers
, that birds have asked nothing of us. Let us do all we can to keep them flourishing.
Juanita Roushdy is an avid birder living in Bremen, Maine. She never ceases to be awe struck by birds – their journeys, their stamina, their beauty, their tenaciousness, their song. We thank her for allowing us to reprint her essay.

A Mystery Bird in the Field – Revisited
|
|
By Megan Jones Patterson
In the February 2018
On The Wing
(page 5)
,
we highlighted this small passerine bird that John Hoffman found dead in January 2018 and Bill Schmoker took to CU-Boulder to become part of their collection.
Did you identify the bird? What did you use to make your ID?
The bill, feet, and relative size get us down to a type of wood-warbler. But it was January, and the only common species that time of year is Yellow-rumped and this isn't one! Yellow throat and breast with no streaking along the sides; a white belly, vent, and undertail coverts; greenish grey back and head with perhaps a hint of a white wingbar sticking out from behind the ruffled feathers -- looks like either Northern or Tropical Parula! Neither is very common, Tropical would be a real find. This bird doesn't have the bold gray blue of adult birds, the extensive greenish-grey on the back and head is more typical of a first winter bird. We'd expect a nice half crescent white eyes on the Northern Parula which aren't apparent in the picture. But on the other side, the yellow tends to extend further down the breast on a Tropcial Parula than the Northern Parula. Those ruffled feathers right around the collar appear a bit more orange hued and could be the start of the collar on the Northern's breast band.
So what did you decided? Most likely this is a Northern Parula and that the white feathers of the eye arcs have sunk into the eye sockets to not be as apparent.
