Part of my birding this week in the La Junta area included some time I spent
in nearby Rocky Ford where I located a fledgling Mississippi Kite in a
residential neighborhood. It's watchful parent remained in a tree about 150
feet from the tree where the fledgling perched. The other parent paid qui

11AM and very little activity too warm. I did see Mark Chavez

When Joel and I observed the loon on July 26th, it dove frequently and
readily enough (every couple of minutes). It would stay under for 30
seconds at most and seemed to have its head underwater for most of the time
otherwise. It had a fairly good success rate, as it came up with what I

and realized it had swum out of view while under. It was also spending
I had a Chihuahuan Raven calling in a tree across the street from my
house for about 30 minutes this afternoon before it flew away. It was

suggestion in the vein of illness or other

Warbler. There were several possible sightings but no definite ID.
This bird is tough to see and doesn't like to leave the brush. I had

The white morph Reddish Egret first found on the west end of John Martin
Reservoir on August 18th is still present as of August 27th. Easiest
