Kelly Shipe and I walked around Rock Canyon and Valco Ponds area in Pueblo today. There seemed to be birds that weren't around yesterday.
In Rock Canyon, we saw a female American Redstart, one Townsend's Warbler, two Eastern Phoebes, and a calling Black-bellied Plover (which might have been flying over, as we never saw it). We also saw a Common Nighthawk, a Plumbeous Vireo, Wood Ducks, and Blue Jays, which I didn't see yesterday, and there was Blue-gray Gnatcatcher on the Valco Ponds side of the river, which I didn't see yesterday either during the Pueblo County Fall Count. In Pueblo West, we saw a Burrowing Owl in a prairie dog town along McCullough Blvd (east of Nickols Road). I haven't seen them much here recently, since the building of so many houses on top of the prairie dog mounds in this area. We saw a few lizards, tiger beetles, and other creatures, though no snakes at all for some reason. There have been a couple of Tarantula sightings around Pueblo Reservoir recently, though so far I have seen one this fall.
