South Shore Marina tires at Pueblo Reservoir (230pm-5pm is the best time for
gull viewing):
Jan 28th:
2 Glaucous Gull (1 adult and 1 very white sub-adult--first or second year bird)
1 adult Lesser Black-backed Gull
1 adult Great Black-backed Gull
Jan 27th:
3 adult Lesser Black-backed Gull
1 adult Great Black-backed Gull
Another birder saw, what was likely a first-year Iceland Gull (hopefully it
will appear again)
Previous years the wintering gulls at Pueblo Reservoir start to leave during
the month of February and head for open water north or east. The next few
weeks should still be good for looking at gulls at Pueblo Reservoir late in the
day.
Other Pueblo birds recently, male and female Greater Scaup, a female
Long-tailed Duck, and a Northern Mockingbird were at Pueblo Reservoir on Jan
25th. One of the two wintering Black Phoebes below Pueblo Reservoir dam, was
still present on Jan 25th, along the Arkansas River, east of Valco Ponds
parking lot.
