Thirteen people helped with today's Pueblo CBC. Thanks to all the helpers, a few came from far away! Our species total appears to be at least 93 species (we found 92 species last year). Seemed like the usual large numbers of Red-winged Blackbirds weren't in the circle today, though there were quite a few Eurasian Collared-Doves and European Starlings as usual. There were a good number of white geese, and all the expected waterfowl were found. A few surprising misses occurred too. It was a lovely day though, it started cold, though in the afternoon, it got up to 69 degrees. It was pretty calm in morning, a little windy this afternoon.
Probably some of the rarer birds for the count today were (some of these were found on private property, that we were able to access only on Count Day): Ross's Goose Greater Scaup Common Loon Sora Mew Gull - adult at Runyon Lake in Pueblo Western Screech-Owl Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - female at Roselawn Cemetery in Blende Say's Phoebe Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay Golden-crowned Kinglet Lapland Longspur Lincoln's Sparrow Swamp Sparrow Brown-headed Cowbird Lesser Goldfinch -- Brandon Percival Compiler of Pueblo CBC Pueblo West, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
