[cobirds] Pueblo Reservoir CBC Results 12/17

[Brandon]

At the end of the compilation party in downtown Pueblo this evening, we are
at 128 bird species, plus a few Count Week species, for the Pueblo
Reservoir CBC.  Thanks everyone who came to help for near and far today!
Sorry for the short report, though another Christmas Bird Count tomorrow.

[cobirds] Pueblo Reservoir CBC Results 12/17

[Brandon K. Percival]

We had a good turn out at the compilation potluck dinner at compiler Mark 
Yaeger's Art Gallery, in downtown Pueblo this evening.  With everyone's lists 
present, we came up with an amazing 127 species (2nd best ever for the count 
--129 is the record for this count and the state of Colorado)!  A huge thanks 
to all the participants, we have a small group of local birders down here in 
the Pueblo Area, and we are always thrilled to have the help of many fine 
birders from far away.  Without their help, there is no way that we can find so 
many bird species.  So, thanks again to everyone for coming.  It was a 
beautiful day, except for the 14 degree start.  It was sunny all day, and no 
wind, which is always very nice!

A quick rundown of some of the rarer birds for the count that were found:
Greater White-fronted Goose (2)
Snow Goose (1) 

Ross's Goose (1)
Greater Scaup (several)
Surf Scoter (1)
White-winged Scoter (1)
Barrow's Goldeneye (4)
Pacific Loon (1)
Common Loon (3)
all the uncommon winter grebes (lots), except Red-necked
Double-crested Cormorant (few)
Northern Goshawk (1)
Rough-legged Hawk (1)
Peregrine Falcon (1)
eight species of gulls:
Bonaparte's, Thayer's (2), Lesser Black-backed (6), Glaucous (1), Great 
Black-backed (1)
White-winged Dove (under 50 I believe)
Greater Roadrunner (1)
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (1)
Black Phoebe (4)
Say's Phoebe (1)
Pygmy Nuthatch (4)
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (2)
Eastern Bluebird (1)
Western Bluebird (only 1)
Northern Mockingbird (2)
Common Yellowthroat (1)
rarer sparrows: Lincoln's (3), Swamp (5), White-throated (1), Harris's (1), 
Rusty Blackbird (7)
Cassin's Finch (1)
Lesser Goldfinch (2)

Hope I didn't forget anything, and the numbers are from memory.
