Took a walk today near the Ft Carson wildlife office in the gusty winds at noon. Was rewarded with four male eastern blubirds foraging in a Russian olive tree with a robin. Haven't seen easterns in a couple of years. They are very beautiful indeed. Also saw a yellow-shafted northern flicker and a flock of about 2 dozen pinon jays. Have been seing the pinon jays most mornings as well. They fly in from PJ hills to the south and go north, perhaps for water.
Late post, but Tammy spotted a rough-legged hawk on a walk Dec 3. It was east of the treatment plant on the north side of the Arkansas not far from Sharmar Village in Pueblo. My first rough-leg this year. Coworkers at Carson spotted one last month in the El Paso portion of post, but it didn't stick around. I hope some of these others do for the two CBCs we'll be doing at FC next week.
