Hi, Cobirders. Ten of us went birding this morning and had great success at Big Johnson Reservoir in El Paso County.
Highlights included: PACIFIC LOON COMMON LOON SABINE'S GULL - A life bird for two of our group Franklin's Gull Herring Gull 138 Sandhill Cranes 1 Cattle Egret (with the departing cranes) Five species of Grebe - Western, Clark's, Eared, Horned (1), and Pied-billed SEVEN different eagle/hawk/falcon species. It resembled a Hawk Watch. Bald Eagle, Northern Harrier, Ferruginous Hawk, Red Tail Hawk, Prairie Falcon, Cooper's Hawk, and American Kestrel. Add to those a MERLIN at Fountain Creek Area 7 and a Sharp-shinned Hawk on Birdsall Road when we went to see the YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT HERON. Many species of waterfowl, the best being a Canvasback. We also got to meet Steve Kingswood from Boulder. It was a fun morning. Good birding, everyone!!!
