Hi All, I made a quick jaunt out to Last Chance[Highway 71& 36]. Not much happening but a nice Northern Waterthrush, and lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers [mostly Audubon's], several Orange-crowned Warbler, and 2 Common Yellowthroat. There were at least 7 Lark Sparrow, and 1, White-crowned Sparrow,'Gambelii', and 1, 'Mountain' White-crowned Sparrow. 1, Brown Thrasher singing away, 1, Say's Phoebe, 3, American Goldfinch, 1, House Wren, and the local residents [although not all are present yet]. I wanted to see how high the water was at Prewitt Reservoir so I dashed out there. Since I saw shorebirds at the pond right off of highway 6,[ pond is opposite to county rd. 7 and just east of it], I stopped to check this area before Prewitt. There was 1, Solitary Sandpiper, many Wilson's Phalarope, 13 Semipalmated Sandpiper, 11, Long-billed Dowitdher, 15, White-faced Ibis, 8, Forster's Tern, and many puddle ducks. Prewitt Reservoir is high with no shoreline. Fortunately where I looked at the water near the boat launch, there was a nice beautiful male Baltimore Oriole. I saw no other Orioles there. That was it for my birding at Prewitt since I had to get home. Happy Birding! Tina Jones Littleton, Jefferson County, CO
