Hi all I led a fantastic Saturday trip to (Weld County-annexed) Chalk Bluffs Road (by far easiest place in "Weld County" to view both longspurs) ... :-) ... we saw both adults and immatures (probably underestimated, too):
- McCown's Longspur - Three dozen+. At one point we had group of a dozen sitting together on fence line - Chestnut-collared Longspur - Two dozen+ with some small groups - Loads of Grasshopper Sparrow, Horned Lark, Western Meadowlark, and Lark Bunting, of course Photos: http://coloradobirder.club/m/photos/browse/album/Chalk-Bluffs-Road-07-15-2017/ Chalk Bluffs Road if you haven't been there has some exquisite taller grasses and a plethora of longspurs. Other bird sightings over weekend (Sunday and Monday): Sunday - Baird's Sandpiper - 12+ [Woods Lake, Severance, Weld] - Snowy Egret - 11 [Woods Lake, Severance, Weld] - Spotted Sandpiper [Woods Lake, Severance, Weld] - Franklin's Gull - 1,500+ [Loloff Reservoir, Kersey, Weld] - Forster's Tern [Woods lake, Severance, Weld] Monday - White-faced Ibis - 7 [Larimer CR 9, Wellington, Larimer] Thanks, Gary Lefko, Nunn http://coloradobirder.club/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
