[cobirds] COMMON TEAL -- Pueblo Reservoir SWA 4/07

All, This morning, I photographed what appears to be a male COMMON Green-winged TEAL at the State Wildlife Area on the North West Side of Pueblo Reservoir.  Unfortunately, the bird flew with the other teal.  The bird might come back.  I'm heading back there, and see if it does.  Tony Leukering

[cobirds] Quail Creek Park - Broomfield

One of my favorite local birding spots has to be Quail Creek Park behind the King Soopers at 136th Zuni. While it is surrounded on three sides by Westminster, the park is in Broomfield. It's a great place for shorebirds. Last year, we had nesting Killdeer, American Avocet and Spotted Sandpiper
