Hi all The Weld CR 124 pond is drawing down and offers nice shorebird habitat--and birds! Did not walk into Weld CR 122 (.5m west of Weld CR 75/122) but suspect same conditions there. Weld CR 116 playa is full of water, no shoreline and two shovelers.
- Wilson's Snipe - 7 - Long-billed Dowitcher - 15 - Greater Yellowlegs - 6+ - Least Sandpiper - 2 - Loads of ducks, some geese I did most of travel on county roads north of Pawnee Buttes to WY border ... - Ferruginous Hawk - 3 - Swainson's Hawk - 6 - Red-tailed Hawk - 2 - Prairie Falcon - 3 - Tons of Vesper Sparrow, meadowlarks and horned larks - Some Lark, White-crowned, and Chipping Sparrow - Other interesting bird was Yellow-headed Blackbird - 2 hanging out with flock of Red-wingeds in the "middle of nowhere" Other odd novelties were a small, looks to be a working, Zion Church on Weld CRs 124/111 in the "middle of nowhere" with houses/ranches not to be found in vicinity. Also, nearby was a four-story what looked to be a fire lookout perched in middle of prairie. Beautiful drive ...
