Hi CObirders, My husband Dan and I decided to cruise around and see what water birding offered us since land birding at Sondermann Park (Colorado Springs) was quite slow in terms of migrants. The following highlights are below... Big Johnson Reservoir - Peregrine Falcon - 2 - Bald Eagle - 1 - White-faced Ibis ~200 flew down to shoreline - Snowy Egret - 1 (both the BAEA and one of the PEFA tried to catch this bird) - Western Sandpiper - Semiplamated Sandpiper - Least Sandpiper - Willet - Lesser Yellowlegs - American Avocet - Wilson's Phalarope (tons!) - Common Loon (in basic plumage) - 4 species of swallow (swallows everywhere - on ground, on fence/power lines, flying around) Prospect Lake, Memorial Park - Osprey - Willet - Solitary Sandpiper - Spotted Sandpiper - American Avocet - White-faced Ibis - 5 species of swallow Private Pond in Fountain/Widefield - Black-necked Stilt - American Avocet - Western Sandpiper - Semipalmated Sandpiper - Solitary Sandpiper - Spotted Sandpiper - Lesser Yellowlegs - Greater Yellowlegs Good birding, Kara Carragher Colorado Springs, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
