Starting April 1st, the State Wildlife Area on the North West side of Pueblo Reservoir, becomes part of Lake Pueblo State Park and not a SWA. I don't yet know about the South Side State Wildlife Area or Swallows. There is the new sign for the NW side road. So, you'll need a State Parks Pass to visit the former SWA, starting April 1, 2021. This past year, we needed the Fishing Licence or Hunting Licence to go to this State Wildlife Area. I believe you still need the Fishing or Hunting Licence, for the many other State Wildlife Areas around the State. Tomorrow, you can start buying your 2021 Fishing Licence, which is good through March 31, 2022. Many State Wildlife Areas are good birding locations.
Bird news from Pueblo, the Great Black-backed Gull was still on the South Shore Marina tires yesterday at Pueblo Reservoir. Two Lesser Black-backed Gulls were at the Pueblo West Gravel Pit yesterday, also Eastern Bluebird in Osprey Picnic Area (all reports of Western Bluebirds from the winter, from here, are really Easterns). Westerns could be coming back through Pueblo in March or April. A lone Sandhill Crane was flying around Valco Ponds yesterday as well.
