Late yesterday 5 Great Egrets perched in the trees at Sell's Lake just off the Canon City Riverwalk, first of the year birds in this area. The Evening Grosbeak I reported in City on the bluff next tot the Riverwalk are still here. Though they likely are going to feeders in the residences there, they were enjoying the tender tips of the new foilage when I saw them yesterday.
I realized I forgot to mention the very large number of Franklin's Gulls that arrived last weekend with the snow storm. On Monday I found almost 500 of them with the largest number at Brush Hollow Reservoir (about 250), about 150 in agricultural fields in Canon and another 100 in ag fields in Florence. This is the largest number of Franklin's Gulls I have ever seen in the Canon City area. And though the numbers have diminished, there are still around 200 still around.
