Since I was out if the state the first week of the year, I finally got to bird around Pueblo this week. Quite a few rarities around Lake Pueblo State Park this week. My highlights: The Gull show, first year Glaucous-winged Gull (also a hybrid Glaucous-winged x Herring Gull continues since December), first or second year Glaucous Gull, at least one adult Short-billed Gull, many Iceland (Thayer's) Gulls, Lesser Black-backed Gulls, and an adult Great Black-backed Gull. Three species of Loons, several Commons, 1 Pacific and 1 Red-throated. Six species of Grebes have been seen, 1 Red-necked and 2 Clark's Grebes, many Horned, Eared, Western, Pied-billed. One Double-crested Cormorant, a White-winged Scoter, Long-tailed Duck, and male Barrow's Goldeneye. For passerines this week, highlights were Winter Wren, Gray Catbird, Harris's, White-throated and Swamp Sparrows. Out of the Pueblo Reservoir CBC circle, I saw the continuing Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and Golden-crowned Kinglet in Blende, and Brown-headed Cowbird in Vineland. I am nearly at 100 bird species in Pueblo County this year, since Sunday late afternoon.
