[cobirds] Red-necked grebe, lesser scaup - Larimer

[Adam Johnson]

The red-necked grebe continues at City Park in Fort Collins, typically 
sticking to the center of the lake. There were also two lesser scaup 
present today that were constantly moving and foraging on the bottom of the 
lake. At one point the grebe went into "torpedo" mode and chased the scaup 
around.

[cobirds] White-crowned Sparrow - Pueblo

[Leon Bright]

COBirders--  White-crowned Sparrows are not common in the city of Pueblo
away from the river, however almost every spring one or a few show up in our
back yard.  A few minutes ago one appeared, ate a bit, took a quick drink,
loafed a little and now is not in sight.  This is the second-earliest
sighting I've had, the earliest being March 15, 2006.

Leon Bright, Pueblo
