Today's DFO Field Trip around Pueblo, saw the following birds of note: East of Valco Ponds parking lot in Pueblo:
BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE - 1 juvenile, flew by the group at 9:35am along the Arkansas River, near Valco Ponds #2 and 3, and flew west, later seen at Pueblo Reservoir, off West Fishing Road. This isn't the one that was present from 30 Oct to 15 Nov, as today's bird was one was a juvenile bird, and that other bird was an adult bird. I think like 85 birders now have seen a Black-legged Kittiwake at Pueblo Reservoir this month! BANK SWALLOW - 1 still flying around over the Arkansas River, near Valco Ponds -- can this bird stay to December 1st, for a new winter record for Colorado, we'll see. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - 1 I saw it on far side of the 3rd Valco Pond (dis-appeared quickly) Greater Roadrunner - 2 seen along the road, on the west side of the 3rd Valco Pond Say's Phoebe - 2 near the Valco Bridge Mexican Duck/Mallard - 1 along the River, near Valco Ponds #3 Bewick's Wrens, Bushtits, a Yellow-rumped Warbler, Curve-billed Thrasher were also seen, on our walk. Didn't see the White-winged Scoter or Rusty Blackbird, from two days ago. The scoter might be on some other pond, or left the area. The blackbird is likely somewhere along the river. Pueblo Reservoir: Great Black-backed Gull - 1 adult on the South Shore Marina tires A Pacific Loon and two Common Loons - off West Fishing Road Pueblo City Park: Ira Sanders called me, to let me know they found a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - a juvenile in NE part of the park this afternoon A pretty fun day in Pueblo. -- Brandon Percival Pueblo West, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
