There was a Cassin’s Kingbird about 7 miles south of Smith Reservoir (Costilla County), by the big white ranch house along the road. This is, so far as I know, the first summer record for the species in the SLV. No breeding records in Atlas I, and am anxiously awaiting Atlas II). The handfull of other records were in May. In addition, there were 3 Peregrine Falcon adults, and a few Lark Buntings as well. Could not find Mountain Plover in those subdivided prairielands.
Have looked for the Mississippi Kite recently reported in Alamosa, but have had no luck. Pretty quiet otherwise down here.
