[cobirds] Ken Caryl Valley note 9/1

This morning I was surprised to see a *Wilson's Phalarope* flying a few laps around my home area, passing over rather low at times. And an active flock of about 25 *Mountain Bluebirds* was accompanied by at least 14 *Yellow-rumped Warblers*, both first of season migrants for my local area. That

Re: [cobirds] White Ibis?

To the best of my knowledge, the Bent County White Ibis has not been seen as of 2:30 today. That doesn't necessarily mean it's not around, as many people have not seen it on their first attempt, and no one knows where it spends time when it's not on the mudflat. Sincerely, Duane Nelson, Las

Re: [cobirds] White Ibis?

I answered David on this, but I should have hit "reply all." I could not find it this morning. It was the first day of dove hunting season, and there were gunshots going off constantly. I did not go down the two-track road, because there was a lot of gunfire coming from there. There was also

[cobirds] Piping Plover at Prewitt

There was a Piping Plover at Prewitt Reservoir this morning hanging with two Semipalmated Plovers. There was a nice variety of shorebirds yesterday and today including Stilt and Pectoral Sandpipers. The opening of dove season, however, makes things noisy. However, no Red Knot, though with the
