Folks, A Great Kiskadee was observed and photographed yesterday by Jane Stulp at her ranch (private) in Prowers County. The bird was seen early in the morning for several minutes and photographed feeding around a large water feature. Although several birders searched during the afternoon and into evening the bird could not be re-found at her ranch, nor at nearby woodlands. Great Kiskadee is resident in North American only in the Lower Rio Grande Valley and shows very little pattern of vagrancy, making this sighting remarkable. Great Kiskadee prefers dense woods near water and has a loud, conspicuous song. This bird should be a new addition to Colorado's growing state list, once submitted and approved (presumably) by the CBRC.
