A first year Glaucous-winged Gull was present this afternoon near the South Shore Marina at Pueblo Reservoir. It was seen by five birders. The bird didn't have any darker feathers in the wing tips or anywhere else. The bird was big, and had the same light brown color overall, with very large black bill.
We also saw an adult Great Black-backed Gull and juvenile Thayer's Gull in the same area. Two Horned Grebes continue on Pueblo Reservoir, the reservoir is opening back up quite fast, with all the wind and warm weather. My other highlight of the day, was finally seeing the AMERICAN DIPPER in Pueblo. A dipper has now been seen three time this winter, along the Arkansas River, below Pueblo Reservoir dam. I think the last sighting was in early January. Today, I saw it below and not far east of the footbridge, that goes from Snakeskin Picnic Area, over to the Rock Canyon Swim Beach pond.
