Hi, all. Jeanne and I also saw the Sabine's Gull at Big Johnson. We also had a flock of several hundred Yellow-headed Blackbirds.
>From Big Johnson we went to Hwy 67 and drove from Sedalia to Manitou Lake. >Along the way we had an American Three-toed Woodpecker just south of mm 118. >At Lake Manitou just before sunset we watched an Osprey plying his trade, >catching 3 fish in 20 minutes. If you want a beautiful mountain drive, we highly recommend Hwy 67 from Sedalia to Woodland Park. Good birding.

The only real noteworthy species I had while in Pueblo county were six CHESTNUT-COLLARED LONGSPURs and two MCCOWN'S LONGSPURs. Well, the nearly 2000 VESPER SPARROWs were probably a little noteworthy as well. All of these were in the extreme northeast part of the county. ----- Mark Peterson Colorado Springs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
