COBirders, As Bill mentioned earlier, I had an adult YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON at Jumbo Reservoir today. The bird was in the southwest corner part of the lake.
Unfortunately, Bills "herd" of Cattle Egrets were gone by the time I got there. I did see some at Jumbo but missed the big group. I birded the Road 29 and Road 6 ponds today in Phillips county and had the following shorebirds: Killdeer American Avocet Spotted Sandpiper Solitary Sandpiper Greater Yellowlegs Lesser Yellowlegs Semipalmated Sandpiper Western Sandpiper Least Sandpiper Baird's Sandpiper Pectoral Sandpiper Stilit Sandpiper Short-billed Dowitcher (1) Long-billed Dowitcher Wilson's Snipe Wilson's Phalarope A couple of other notes from this area: Blue-winged Teal with young (days old at best, young) Black-crowned Night-Heron (13) Olive-sided Flycatcher Dickcissel (1) At the Road 2 pond (Phillips and Yuma counties) there were signs of breeding too, the following had youngsters: Gadwall Blue-winged Teal American Coot American Avocet ----- Mark Peterson Colorado Springs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Colorado Field Ornithologists: http://www.cfo-link.org/ Colorado County Birding: http://www.coloradocountybirding.com/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
