Hi all, Today's Pueblo Reservoir CBC (all in Pueblo County) went extremely well. Our record species total is 132 species for this count, and we are at 129 species at least today. We may not have all the results yet. We had quite a few counters, and mostly calm weather. It started at 13 degrees this morning, and only made it to the 40s. Thanks to all the helpers, we can't do this count without you all.
