Late report but nothing really chaseable. I drove to Salida last Friday in search of Rough-legged Hawks that I usually find in that area. Though I did not find any there I did spot one on my way home in the Coaldale area. Then on Saturday I was disappointed to not see a Rough-legged on my way down to Pueblo but was rewarded with one on the way home. I have posted photos of this bird on my Birds and Nature blog<http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com> .
The only birds of note I saw in the Salida area were a flock of Great-tailed Grackles, a species that has usually been resident in at Sands Lake in Salida for some years. There were a few Common Goldeneye and a good number of common waterfowl on that very productive pond. A week ago two late Lesser Goldfinch arrived at my feeders and they are still here. These are the black-backed or Texas form and I also have photos of them on my blog. Same day I got my first Pine Siskins of the season. I have only been seeing Williamson's Sapsuckers (up to 4 males and 1 female) in Canon City for past couple of weeks but there is still a lot of movement of them so hoping to refind the Yellow-bellied again.
