Riley and Heather Morris, Doug Sjhoffner, and I birded in El Paso and Pueblo Counties today.
We spend most of morning at Fountain Creek Regional Park, where were able to see the Swamp Sparrow. We looked for the Winter Wren, though we couldn't find it. We then headed back to Pueblo, and checked Runyon Lake, where we saw a first year Lesser Black-backed Gull. We then went over to Pueblo City Park, and were able to see Cackling Geese, and Wood Ducks. The wind was too much, though we checked some sapsucker trees, and didn't find any. After a nice lunch, we then went to Pueblo West, where we were able to find Scaled Quail, two Snow Geese, Great-tailed Grackles, Canvasbacks, and other birds. Then we ended at Pueblo Reservoir at the South Shore Marina, we saw first year Glaucous Gull, first year Lesser Black-backed Gull, Western Grebe, and Canyon Towhee. Our final gull species total for the two days was seven species, no California or Mew Gull. The Glauous-winged yesterday was a nice bonus. A pretty good day of birding, despite to wind, that was very gusty at times.
