COBirders,
There are a lot of out-of-state chicken-watchers dodging snow showers in CO this month. Besides looking for chickens, they will be trying to see other species that might not be found in their home state, so maybe consider reporting western specialty birds that you might not otherwise post to COBIRDs during April. Today at Big Johnson Reservoir. Peregrine Falcon - 1 - fence post on north shore Eared and Horned Grebes, mostly Horned, but a couple of Eareds very close to the parking area American Avocets - 10+, far shore Franklin's and California Gulls, distant, but flying around some Big flock of dark ibis, far shore and overhead.
