While watching two willets and 5 Wilson's phalaropes (3:15 PM) along the shoreline just below the picnic area on the west side of Cherry Creek SP with long time friend and birder Bob Montgomery and his friend Nancy, Bob asked if I had seen any ibises. I replied that I had seen one flying low o

[cobirds] Migration notes from Phillips County

I birded Phillips County today, only from 12:30 til 4:30. Nothing too unusual, but some migrants are coming through. *Haxtun Sewage Ponds* Double-crested Cormorant 6 (not an easy bird there, in my experience) Cinnamon Teal 3 (again, a common bird elsewhere, but it was a county bird for me aft

I still have 3 Juncos in my yard today, two Slate-colored and one Pink-sided. I've never had them here past the first week of April before. Over a dozen White-crowned Sparrows picking up Nyger seed that was blown all over the yard by the wind and a lone Song Sparrow skulking around. The bossy

[cobirds] Black-necked stilt

I wasn't planning birding today, but as I drove past Stearn's Lake I couldn't resist. The pond across from the Stearn's Lake parking lot had some interesting shore birds. The American Avocets have been there for a month or so, but today there was also a black-necked stilt in the mix. Also presen
