Hi Everyone-- Today 9/22 I went down to Pueblo Reservoir, where I ran into Brandon Percival. Brandon already posted, so I'll just mention that on the way out of Pueblo, I saw a White-winged Dove fly east over CO-45 toward Pueblo City Park. I headed toward Last Chance on US-24. At MP 363 (14 miles SW of Limon), I stopped for a Merlin that was perched on a fence. I birded Last Chance from 4pm until 5:30pm, during which time I recorded 33 species (might be an all-time high for me).
Sora - 1 imm (its left wing looked a little droopy) Mourning Dove - 1 Eur Collared-Dove - 2 Downy Woodpecker - 1 Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted) - 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch - 1 Townsend's Solitaire - 1 Hermit Thrush - 1 American Robin - 3 Gray Catbird - 1 Brown Thrasher - 1 Eur Starling - 20 Orange-crowned Warbler - 8 Nashville Warbler - 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler - 10 (1 Audubon's, the rest Myrtles) Townsend's Warbler - 1 Ovenbird - 1 Common Yellowthroat - 2 Wilson's Warbler - 6 Green-tailed Towhee - 1 Spotted Towhee - 1 Chipping Sparrow - 1 Clay-colored Sparrow - 2 Swamp Sparrow - 2 Lincoln's Sparrow - 1 Song Sparrow - 1 White-crowned Sparrow - 20 White-throated Sparrow - 1 Dark-eyed Junco - 5 (all Pink-sided) Bullock's Oriole - 1 House Finch - 5 American Goldfinch - 1 House Sparrow - 10 A few Mourning Cloaks are still around. Zero dragonflies. A single Swainson's Hawk was along CO-71 north of Limon. I suspect that might be my last for 2012.
