One Red-necked Grebe was with other large grebes off Sailboard launching area at Pueblo Reservoir this morning. This is an early date for the Pueblo Area by three days, previous early fall date was 5 October 2000, according to Dave Silverman's Pueblo Area Migration Calendar. At the South Shore Marina tires, there were two Common Terns, six Forster's Terns, and three Franklin's Gulls.
Birding below Pueblo Reservoir dam of late, hasn't had anything too exciting for me. Mountain birds are certainly around: a Pygmy Nuthatch, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Pine Siskins flying around, an Evening Grosbeak, Red-naped Sapsuckers, Townsend's Solitaire have all been seen in the area recently. I saw my first Merlin of the fall this morning, below the dam. A few different shorebirds have been around recently too, a Pectoral Sandpiper, a Lesser Yellowlegs, and nine American Avocets. The only warblers recently have been Yellow-rumped, Orange-crowned, Wilson's, and Common Yellowthroat.
