I checked out Pueblo Res. yesterday (12/29) for waterfowl. There were there were hundreds, possibly thousands, of ducks on the water.Mostly C. Goldeneyes and C. Mergansers west of the North Shore Marina. Unfortunately this area was a shooting gallery. Whenever there was a volley of gunfire, the ducks would take off and fly in all directions. This made it difficult to systematically check over all of them. The best find was a pair of imperturbable Common Loons. Near the dam things were quieter and I found a pair of LONG-TAILED DUCKS. One was a handsome basic male. Its partner was a basic female (or maybe a 1st winter). There weren't a whole lot of gulls on the tires at the South Marina. An adult Lesser Black-backed Gull and an adult Great Black-backed Gull were seen here among the Herrings and Ring-bills.

Hi all, No sign of the Yellow-billed Loon at all today at Pueblo Reservoir. The breeding plumage Common Loon continues by the dam. Four non-breeding plumage Common Loons were in the State Wildlife Area on the NW side of Pueblo Reservoir as well. This area was pretty good today, a Lesser Yellowlegs was with four Greater Yellowlegs, both Blue-winged and Cinnamon Teal, and many swallows, Tree (60), Cliff (1), Barn (2), and Bank (1). A few Bonaparte's Gulls were around the Reservoir again today as well.

While at Pueblo Reservoir, Pueblo County this morning, looking for the frigatebird, I saw a basic Red-throated Loon (first off Sailboard, then it flew west by me near the North Shore Marina), nearly ten Common Loons scattered around the reservoir, at least four Lesser Black-backed Gulls, a Franklin's Gull, many Bonaparte's Gulls, a flyover Lapland Longspur were the highlights.

Kara Carragher and I birded around Pueblo Reservoir today, and other places in Pueblo. We started around 11am, to let things warm up and the roads to get less snowy. As usual, for early January, there were other birders around today as well. The highlights around Pueblo Reservoir today for us: Long-tailed Duck - 1 Barrow's Goldeneye - 1 or 2 males, saw them at two locations Red-throated Loon - 1 Pacific Loon - 1 Common Loon - 5 Red-necked Grebe - 2 Clark's Grebe - 1 lots of Eared Grebes and some Horned Grebes (most of these are near the dam, while the Eareds around in the middle of the reservoir, mostly back west) American White Pelican - 4 Double-crested Cormorant - 1 Great Black-backed Gull - 1 adult Lesser Black-backed Gull - 2 at least Bonaparte's Gull - many still California Gull - 1 Greater Scaup - 5 Ruddy Duck - 4 Rough-legged Hawk - 1 (usually not regular around here, this year, they are around) Rock Wren - 1 Mountain Bluebirds are around Other people saw other things. I know there is still at least one adult Short-billed Gull around, maybe not seen today, though seen this year already. We tried to find Chestnut-sided Warblers at the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk Pueblo (HARP), near Main Street (when it warmed up some), and didn't find any, did see two Yellow-rumped Warblers and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, which sometimes the warblers hang out with. The temperature was below 0 in downtown Pueblo last night, so the rare warblers may not have survived the night. Even though we started at 11am, we ended up with around 75 bird species around Pueblo today. Good luck to the DFO field trip tomorrow, there's plenty of birds on the reservoir to scope out. The ponds around Valco, that were open as recently as yesterday, have mostly froze over. I won't be able to be around the Reservoir and Pueblo tomorrow, a Christmas Bird Count up in Westcliffe tomorrow.
