Lin Lilly, his granddaughter and I birded in Pueblo City Park and Valco Ponds in Pueblo today. Pueblo City Park was somewhat quiet, we did see a flock of 25 or so Evening Grosbeaks, a couple of Pygmy Nuthatches, an adult male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, and two Yellow-rumped Warblers, among a few other birds.
We then walked west of the Valco Ponds parking lot, not too much of interest to report, except for a Say's Phoebe, and an Osprey. There was a good number of Buffleheads, Gadwall, a few Hooded Mergansers, and other waterfowl on the Fish Hatchery Ponds. We saw the usual sparrows, White-crowned, Song, and American Tree Sparrows as well. The Warning Part: When I was about to leave the Valco Ponds parking lot along Hwy 96, I noticed that a fisherman's car was broken into, he said, that he had a fishing pole in site, so that is what was stolen. Anyone parking there or anywhere, should try to hide their important equipment. I've seen broken glass in this parking lot before, so I typically don't park there or don't spend a lot of time parked in that parking lot.
