The ice-line at West Fishing Road at Pueblo Reservoir, the seven Long-tailed Ducks were present this morning, along with many Common Goldeneye and other ducks. One Bonaparte's Gull was sitting on the ice there as well. Around the North Shore Marina/Northern Plains Campground, there were Canyon Towhees, and a Townsend's Solitaire. A good number of ducks were in the North Shore Marina cove. I tried hard, though couldn't find a Greater Scaup with the many Lessers there. The gulls on the tires at the North Marina, were Ring-billed (this is a place the adult Mew Gull was on Dec 30th). Scoping east from the closed campground, south of the North Shore Marina, produced Eared and Western Grebes, lots of mergansers and goldeneye. A quick drive around some neighborhoods in Pueblo West, yielded Scaled Quail, Curve-billed Thrasher, and Lesser Goldfinches. It is breezy to windy at Pueblo Reservoir this morning, not like yesterday, when after the fog burned off, it was very calm and easy to see the birds on the large reservoir. Pueblo Reservoir is not as easy to bird, when it is windy, since it is so big. Always a good scope is needed out there, to see things. Good birding, Brandon PercivalPueblo West, CO
