I was in the San Luis Valley over the weekend visiting family. We spent Saturday night camping at Trujillo Meadows Campground (Highway 17 between Antonito CO and Chama NM). The woods around camp site 38 were full of American Three-toed Woodpeckers. Also seen at this location were Red Crossbill, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Western Tanager, Spotted Sandpiper, Lincoln Sparrow etc. A lot of babies in the woods trying to learn how to feed themselves.
At Smith Reservoir in Costilla county I found a Black-necked Stilt. I have not seen one in the Valley before. Also found was a Blue Grosbeak. This is also a good spot to see Eared Grebe with back riding babies. They tend to hang out near the shore by the parking lot.
