The Arkansas Valley Audubon Society's Annual Pueblo Reservoir birding trip was well attended today. Lots of birders, though not as many birds as usual. We did see 15 or so Common Loons on the reservoir, an Osprey , and a Northern Mockingbird. The loons were flying around quite a bit, and we even heard a few of them calling.
After the trip was over around noon to 1pm, David Chartier and I went over to Pueblo City Park. The hackberry tree east of the pond in Pueblo City Park was loaded with birds. We saw a Nashville Warbler, an Orange-crowned Warbler, and a juvenile male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, among many other birds. Later this afternoon, Mark Peterson and I went to Huerfano County to look for Polly and Paul Neldner's female Eastern Towhee, and we were able to see and hear her. Great find, and big thanks to the Neldner's for allowing us to come and visit. As it was getting dark, Mark and I went over to Martin Lake at Lathrop State Park, and we saw the continuing Red-necked Grebe and Pacific Loon, as well as 3 Common Loons. A pretty fun day of birding!!
