Birds are still changing by the day. It seems their usual spot on the 8S road has been left behind as birds are finding new grainfields in which to feed. There are numerous off-refuge fields that have recently thawed off the snows, and the birds are feeding in those locations. So try the 7S road and there were still lots of birds there. And try 2S road in my neighborhood headed east. At least 1000 birds there too.
In early morning Cranes are seen close at the west side turnouts but very few birds are roosting on the east side turnouts on Hwy 15. So best to drive some of these options and you will be rewarded. Other birds appearing for the Crane Festival include a dozen snow geese, one GWF Goose, Cinnamon, GW Teal, Pintails, Gadwalls and Mallards. Home Lake is still frozen so not much there. If I hear more, will let you know. Enjoy your visit! John Rawinski Monte Vista, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
