Hi all, Bill Maynard, Rachel Hopper, Larry Semo, and I checked out various bodies of water in Southeastern Colorado today. We saw some rarities, and other things. John Martin Reservoir (from the Northwest side): NEOTROPIC CORMORANT - 1 photographed Fort Lyon S.W.A. marshes: LEAST BITTERN - 1 seen well, and photographed Adobe Creek Reservoir, Bent County: LAUGHING GULL - 1 adult alternate plumage The best places for shorebirds today were the Lake Meredith (Crowley County) feedlot ponds, Lake Cheraw (Otero County), John Martin Reservoir (Bent County), and Adobe Creek Reservoir (Bent County). Lake Henry & Lake Meredith (Crowley County), and Lake Holbrook (Otero County) are all very high, without shorebird habitat. There were Forster's Terns, Black Terns, Frankin's Gulls, and American White Pelicans at some of these bodies of water. There were a flock of 44 Mountain Plovers at Adobe Creek Reservoir (Bent County), in a prairie dog town, and a flock of 25 or so Long-billed Curlews at Adobe Creek Reservoir (Bent County), as well. There were several Dickcissels singing in a field between Lake Holbrook and Lake Cheraw in Otero County. Good birding,
