Greetings All
Today, David Dowell and I spent much of the morning at Prewitt Shorebird habitat along the south end of the reservoir is sweeet, and highlights from the mud at the s. end included: LAUGHING GULL (2nd year, worn, not unlike the Big Johnson bird) SNOWY PLOVER (beautiful adult) AMERICAN-GOLDEN PLOVER (apparent first alternate plumage) Along the Inlet Channel, which extends s. from the s. end of the reservoir, we found 2 singing male RED-EYED VIREOS and a female feeding a youngster!!! 1 singing MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER and some lesser things like GC Flycatcher and Laz Bunting If one takes the northernmost of the two Washington County access roads to Prewitt, one passes a marsh-rimmed pond on your right, visible from the road. In the past two years I've had two Neotropical Cormorants (Jul/Aug) and a Pacific Loon (May) in this unlikely venue for those species. Today, there was an apparently healthy GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE there (it was not there a month ago). Jackson Reservoir (Morgan County) has some shorebirds along the n. side. Nothing rare, yet, but it looks like it will be tasty. Good Birding Steven Mlodinow Longmont CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
