COBirders, I spent a few hours at Big Johnson reservoir this morning and while standing there I had AMERICAN PIPITs, HORNED LARKs and a single SNOW BUNTING. The Snow Bunting was calling and flying northwest with the flock. I have no idea if the bird will make it back to the reservoir or not.
Then after about an hour of looking through all the birds an adult male LONG-TAILED DUCK appeared from behind the dam. I walked around to the east to look behind the dam and there was a second LONG-TAILED DUCK (female type). They eventually joined up just off the corner of the dam as you look from the parking lot. Other birds of note were two BONAPARTE'S GULLs, one FRANKLIN'S GULL, 1 AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN and two COMMON LOONs. ----- Mark Peterson Colorado Springs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
