Cobirds, I birded Elbert and Lincoln counties yesterday May 1. Not very many birds in any location. We had decent water in both counties but nothing setting in them. The highlights were;
*Lincoln County* SPRAGUE'S PIPIT 1 and American Pipits 8 - CR2G south of road between CR32 and Huga SWA. The Sprague's Pipit was east of the Am Pipits about 50 yards in the same short grass prairie field. Great looks including one flight call (camera in the shop being cleaned, bummer!) Burrowing Owls 8 and Mountain Plover 1 - CR 32 on west side of road between CR2G and CR2C BROAD-WINGED HAWK 1 - CR32 between CR2G and CR2C flying north Wilson's Phalarope 1, Long-billed Dowitcher 1 and Western Sandpiper 1 - CR U north of the road between CR 35 & CR 37 *Elbert County* Red Crossbills - CR 21 0-1 mile north of Hwy 86 in a neighborhood all three Nuthatches - CR 21 0-1 mile north of Hwy 86 in a neighborhood Western and Mountain Bluebirds - CR 21 0-1 mile north of Hwy 86 in a neighborhood Spotted Sandpiper - CR 166 between CR 125 & CR 129 at Wilson Creek Yellow-rumped Warbler - CR 166 between CR 125 & CR 129 at Wilson Creek Downy, Hairy and No Flicker - CR 166 between CR 125 & CR 129 at Wilson Creek Cedar Waxwing - CR 166 between CR 125 & CR 129 at Wilson Creek Ball Reservoir was dry from both vantage point Boy you sure need to work for every bird in Elbert and Lincoln counties!
