In the past few days, two extremely rare birds have been found in SE Colorado.
The Cactus Wren is the 3rd state record. https://cobrc.org/Reports/SpeciesDetail.aspx?id=509 The first was in a Colorado Springs back yard in late March 2018, and the second was in late March last year in Otero Co.
The Brown Booby is the 2nd state record. The first was found in Left Hand Canyon, Boulder Co: https://cobrc.org/Reports/SpeciesDetail.aspx?id=504 The bird was taken to a rehabilitation center, but it died a little while later. Both these boobies were obviously seriously disorientated. If this bird is to survive, then it needs to quickly find a large reservoir such as Two Buttes reservoir to the NE or, possibly, John Martin reservoir some way to the N.
Cheers, Peter Gent. Chairman CBRC, Boulder.
