A *Great Egret* in the company of 3 Great Blue Herons at Crystal Lakes, south of Leadville, was a new Lake County species. Not sure of this species' status in CO generally, but there can't be many records at this elevation.
Despite the snowy conditions, other spring migrants/FOS: 13 Sandhill Cranes, 43 White-faced Ibis, 4 Lesser Yellowlegs, 1 Solitary Sandpiper, Northern Harrier, White-crowned, Lincoln's, Brewer's, Chipping, Vesper, Song Sparrows, Green-tailed Towhee, Western Meadowlark, Yellow-headed Blackbird. Leadville yardbirds today included up to 5 *Black Rosy-Finches* along with a few Gray-crowneds (1 Hepburn's type) among 30 or so Brown-cappeds. Not a single warbler in evidence yet, not even Yellow-rumped. Tim Kalbach Leadville, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
