Hi all, Since it wasn't windy this morning, I decided to check out Pueblo City Park hoping for a Hermit Warbler, since one of the two that have been seen in Pueblo, was seen on this date (though there was a snow storm involved, so maybe tomorrow will be better). The best birding was along the Frisbee Golf Course creek, on the west side of the park. I quickly saw two Virginia's Warblers, two Orange-crowned Warblers, quite a few Yellow-rumped Warblers, a male Wilson's Warbler, a male Lazuli Bunting, and a male Bullock's Oriole. The rest of the park, was a bit more quiet, though I saw 40 or more Chipping Sparrows. Both Red-breasted and White-breasted Nuthatches, Bushtits, Mountain Chickadees, and Pine Siskins were present as well.
Pearle and Clif, and I went over to check the Arkansas River, below Pueblo Reservoir dam, and saw hundreds of Wilson's Phalaropes, though not much else. In Rock Canyon, at the Osprey Picnic Area, there were two Cassin's Kingbirds singing loudly, and quiet a few Yellow-rumped Warblers and one Orange-crowned Warbler. On the way back to Pueblo West, I stopped at Sailboard launching area, and there were a flock of large shorebirds, both Marbled Godwits and Willets were present.
