Birders,
I had enough spare time today to try to find the sub-adult dark-morph
Reddish Egret I first saw at Adobe Creek Reservoir on August 2nd. It
helped that the roads have dried out from some localized heavy rains, as
this is a place where it is both easy to get stuck in mud, and a bad
place to be if you do.
Today, the Reddish Egret was on a narrow sand spit jutting out into the
lake from the eastern shore of the lake. This is in Kiowa County. The
best place to look is from the main boat ramps on the south side of the
northeast part of the reservoir. There is a modern restroom marking
these boat ramps. If it's muddy, the best approach is from Haswell Road,
a paved road connecting Ft. Lyon and Haswell. It makes a jog at the
county line. Head west on the gravel road that goes due west from the
jog to the reservoir and boat ramp.
I think this bird might linger for a while.
