I first want to say great find Mark Miller and thanks for posting this
bird. I saw the bird in both counties, but only in Logan County for less then a
minute. It flew in from the Logan side, I first saw in while in Sedgwick, it
then turned back into Logan, then disappeared, it then came back to the
Sedgwick side after a few minutes of not seeing it. I then watched and
photographed it for about 30 minutes.
It felt like I was birding on the coast because the wind was so bad. I had been
at Jumbo when it was bad wind, but nothing like this, it was extrememly
difficult to identify any of the birds that was sitting on the water, even the
close birds.
I decided to skip both Prewitt Reservoir and Jackson Reservoir because the wind
was to bad to identify birds.
Weld County - March 23
Lesser Yellowlegs - 1 at Lower Latham
