Hi all,
I visited Chico Basin Ranch (fee area) this morning. I was hoping that the
female Northern Parula found at the Headquarters area yesterday would still be
there today, though I couldn't find it. I also was hoping that the Mountain
Plover(s) found there last Sunday would still be there, though I couldn't find
that species either (usually they breed here, so I'm guessing they are around
still). I did find 51 species of birds, mostly in Pueblo County at the
Headquarters area and Rose Pond.
I did find some birds I hadn't seen yet this spring:
4 Blue-winged Teal at Rose Pond (Pueblo County)
2 Burrowing Owl (El Paso County)
1 Chipping Sparrow at the Headquarters Willows (Pueblo County)
few Great-tailed Grackles at Rose Pond (Pueblo County)
Other things:
Two migrant Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and three Yellow-rumped Warblers (including
a singing male Audubon's) were at the Headquarters area, and another
Yellow-rumped Warbler was at Rose Pond. There was a singing Ruby-crowned
Kinglet at the Holmes Grove, a.k.a. RMBO banding station (El Paso County), also
Cedar Waxwings, and many cows wandering around. There was a Brown-headed
Cowbird, a flyover Bank Swallow, and a singing Marsh Wren at Rose Pond. A
Greater Yellowlegs, several Cinnamon Teal, and a Double-crested Cormorant were
at the Headquarters Lake, along with many other ducks. There seems to be a
pair of Ladder-backed Woodpeckers at the Headquarter Willows, and I got a photo
of the male. There were singing single Curve-billed Thrashers at both Rose
Pond and the Holmes Grove.
Good birding,
