In my recent summary of the 23August-3September visit to Lamar, I forgot to
mention a few things.
Lamar is in Prowers County, Tempel's Grove is in Bent, and the Great Plains
Reservoirs are in Kiowa.
Janeal and I saw and photographed an amazing hungry bird episode at Riverside
Cemetery in Lamar: a Great-crested Flycatcher catching and eating a green
mantis, probably a European Mantis (Mantis religiosa).
Also, we saw and photographed a Great-crested Flycatcher catching and eating a
fairly large "tarantula hawk" wasp (genus Pepsis) along the Fort Lyon Ditch
southeast of Tempel's Grove.
I have been advised by Steve Mlodinow (and indirectly by Marshall Iliff) that
an ibis we thought might be Glossy at Upper Queens is probably best left as
Plegadis sp.
