Ten of us started birding out east of Limon this morning in the on-and-off rain and fog. Passerine migration was fairly slow with NO "eastern" warblers being seen.
HOWEVER, at Flagler SWA several briefly saw a WOOD THRUSH (same color as several of the Brown Thrashers in the area, but a much smaller bird with much shorter tail and black SPOTS vs teardrop shaped markings on the breast). A flooded field along US 6 west of Prewitt Reservoir contained 23 White-faced Ibis and one GLOSSY IBIS. Photo and eBird checklist at: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S23314343 Weld County 48 (south side of Lower Latham Reservoir) had ~250 White-faced Ibis and 2 (TWO) GLOSSY IBIS! Dean Shoup got a GREAT photo of the closer bird. Photo can be seen in eBird checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S23314345 Lastly...the bird of the day was a HUDSONIAN GODWIT in alternate (breeding) plumage seen on Weld County Rd 42.
