Hello all,
This noon I took a break from grading student portfolios to take a quick walk around Lagerman Reservoir north of Boulder. On the south side of the reservoir, near where the dam starts, a fisherman flushed a pretty large (30+) flock of American Pipits and Horned Larks off the reservoir shore that contained at least one McCown's Longspur (heard the flight call and got a good look at the tail pattern). There might have been more than one longspur. The birds headed about 50 yards south of the fence and disappeared into the grass, but they stayed in the area and I imagine they might be found again along the path or the shore if someone wanted to go looking. Good birding, Nathan Pieplow Boulder --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
