Stephany McNew and I went looking for some birds in eastern Pueblo County and in Otero County this morning. Near Boone, Pueblo County, we saw a Mountain Plover and Vesper Sparrow. At Lake Holbrook, Otero County, we saw the adult Little Blue Heron, plus shorebirds: Snowy Plovers, Semipalmated Plover, Killdeer, American Avocet, Black-necked Stilt, Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs, Baird's and Least Sandpipers, Long-billed Dowitcher, and Wilson's Phalarope. Also on the Reservoir, a Forster's Tern, Bonaparte's Gulls, Clark's and Western Grebes. We saw a Northern Rough-winged Swallow that caused an e-bird flag. Also, several Burrowing Owls nearby. Lake Cheraw, Otero County was very high with water still. Some ducks, nothing really noteworthy. We drove north of Cheraw, Otero County, and saw several Wilson's Snipe, and a Chipping Sparrow. It was a fun morning of birding on the plains. Brandon K. PercivalPueblo West, CO
