Hi CObirders! I recently went east with friends to bird eastern Colorado counties, and one of the highlights from the day was stopping at Prewitt Reservoir. In the fall, I only remember seeing shorebirds in their more drab nonbreeding plumages, but the birds at Prewitt still showed a lot of their breeding plumages, and it was gorgeous! The mudflats are extremely large, and there were hundreds of shorebirds feeding. Shorebird species: American Avocet, Black-bellied Plover, Semipalmated Plover, Killdeer, Long-billed Curlew, Marbled Godwit, Stilt Sandpiper, Sanderling, Baird's Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, Western Sandpiper, Long-billed Dowitcher, Wilson's Phalarope, Spotted Sandpiper, and Lesser Yellowlegs.
Other highlights included a large group of lifer Black Terns and 35 White-faced Ibises. So, if you're ever out in that area, it's a really fantastic place to bird! *The birds are happy, and so am I* *~Caleb Alons, Larimer County* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
