Greetings All
Today Larry Arnold and I covered much ground in Delta and Mesa County. At times, the birds were a bit thin on the ground, but we had surprisingly good diversity (117 species) and some interesting birds nonetheless... plus stunning countryside. The highlights include a WINTER WREN on the south side of Mesa County Road 141 at mile post 143 and a GLOSSY IBIS at Highline Reservoir (among 94 White-faced Ibis). Other birds of some note included 8 Black-necked Stilts, 1 Marbled Godwit, 4 Willets, 1 American Bittern at Fruitgrowers Reservoir (Delta) 1 Snowy Egret at Schweizer Lake (Delta) 2 Greater Scaup (pair, seen in flight) and 3 Wilson's Phalaropes at Cheney Reservoir (Mesa) 1 Black-throated Gray Warbler, Green-tailed Towhee, and Northern Pygmy-Owl along Divide Road (Mesa) 9 Marbled Godwit and 12 Willet at Highline Reservoir Time to sleep!!!
