COBirders, I was out looking for odonata today and while walking around Jackson's Pond (south side of Eads) I flushed a LEAST BITTERN. It was a brief look as it flew up in front of me and over the cattails and back down. As I got around to the otherside I flushed either the same bird or possibly a second. My feeling was it was a second bird but cannot be sure. The area had major flooding recently and it is very muddy around the pond and there were many dead fish, snakes and rodents.
I also had two PEREGRINE FALCONs both near playas and both were youngsters. Had a group of five CHIHUAHUAN RAVENs right by the Cheyenne and Kiowa county lines just north and east of the Sand Creek Massacre site. And at Evilsizer Lake in Lincoln county there were 8 BLACK TERNs, 1 BLACK-NECKED STILT, 2 AMERICAN AVOCETs and 1 SOLITARY SANDPIPER. ----- Mark Peterson Colorado Springs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
