Birded Valco Ponds west of the parking lot this morning. Not a lot of birds, but there were two black phoebes by the bridge near the construction site where they nested last year. Other highlights were Lincoln's sparrow and hairy woodpecker. There were a lot of swallows, including cliff, barn, tree, violet-green and northern rough-winged. Looked hard for a bank, but couldn't find one.
At Big Johnson Reservoir in El Paso County, there were a lot of ducks, but not a lot of variety. There were many northern shovelers, ruddy ducks and bufflehead, along with a number of western grebes.
