Birders,
I visited Adobe Creek Reservoir (Bent and Kiowa Counties) today. The current cold spell makes the lake look positively arctic, and the lake is 100 percent frozen. Snow covers the ground, but the roads are clear, and easily negotiated when temperatures are below freezing (and we're on quite a streak of that out my way). Still, there are some interesting birds to be found, especially in the seep below the dam. Today, I saw two Rusty Blackbirds from the dam at the outlet, sharing a bit of open water with two Wilson's Snipe. Drive west on Bent County Road UU from Road 10 until you get to the spillway, and look downstream. Yesterday, I birded in Lamar (Prowers County) with Janeal Thompson. We had an adult male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in Willow Creek Park, north of Lamar Community College. At LCC, we saw three Northern Cardinals, one White-throated Sparrow, and one male Red-bellied Woodpecker at or near the feeder on the south side of the woods. Happy New Year!
