COBirders, I made a stop at Big Johnson reservoir tonight near dusk to check out the gulls and anything else that might have shown up recently. Shortly after getting there an immature White-winged Scoter appeared. I was able to call John Drummond, who had just left and he was able to also see the bird. But, in typical fashion at this reservoir, it took us about 10 minutes to relocate the bird.
Other birds of note to me were at least four Common Loons and one Lesser Black-backed Gull (3rd or 4th cycle bird). By the time I left there were approximately 2000 gulls. They were still coming in when it was almost too dark to see them. Also, I have had as many as seven White-winged Doves at my feeders this month but the past few days I have only seen one. ----- 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.
