John Stump and I birded San Luis Lake and Smith reservoir yesterday. It was a cool 42 degrees, but winds were tolerable. It appears many gulls at San Luis Lake have left with only a smattering or Ring-billed present. A Bald eagle was a nice sight.
At Smith Reservoir, we looked carefully at 3 dowitchers feeding in some mudflats. They ended up being Long-billed Dowitchers, juvenile, molt and we had good lighting to check the tertials. This bird is very late for the San Luis Valley and will result in a revision in my occurrence charts.
