All, The 7 Black-bellied Whistling Ducks at Pella Crossing yesterday were the 4th time this species has been documented in Colorado. The first was of a bird on the Pawnee Grasslands in July 1991, the second was of 4 birds in north Durango on 20 June 2015, so it seems that 20 June is the date to look for these birds: https://cobrc.org/Reports/SpeciesDetail.aspx?id=1 Note that the maps show the locations of these reports, and clicking on the blue icon and then the pdf file leads to the reports. The third record is of 7 birds seen at a park in downtown La Junta in April 2020: https://ebird.org/checklist/S69601520.
Note that this last record was not submitted to the CBRC. I am planning to have an option for submitting where it will be much easier and faster to submit records using an ebird checklist that has good photographs. I hope that this will lead to more reports of rare birds in Colorado being submitted to the CBRC as well as to ebird. Cheers, Peter Gent.
