Tried to go shorebirding in Weld-Latham ponds almost entirely dry and same with
Beebe draw-Loloff almost entirely dry and no birds around small areas of water
left-Weld county 59 ponds only place with any water-there I saw a family of
Black-necked Stilts(but no Avocets) and four Stilt sandpipers
I realized I didn’t put in the road we were on when we saw the Mountain Plover
so it was onWCR 100 five miles east of WCR 48 on the south side of WCR 100.
Good birding. Bill Fink

My friend Bill Wenokor and I birded Weld Co today 5-27-18 and found remarkable
lack of migrating land and shorebirds at Crow Valley Loloff Lower Latham and
the farm ponds along WCR42-best Bird was a Mountain Plover 5 miles east of WCR

Sparse shorebirding today-best birds were four Whimbrels at a farm pond 0.4
miles north of the intersection of WCR 42 and 47 on west side of road-also a
pair of Greater Scaup on that pond. Loloff had a lonely Lesser Yellowlegs and

hours in the afternoon) just exploring and hoping to find one of those rare
white owls that seem to be irrupting this winter. No luck with

On 26 July, on County Road 108 between Roads 69 & 49 in the Pawnee Grasslands,
I saw a sparrow that I couldn't ID, and would like some help, please. It flew
before I could photo it. It was perched on a fence with a large flock of Lark
Buntings. I name it sparrow because of the shape, patterning

Greetings All,
I decided to head east from Longmont rather than west this afternoon, and went
to Union Reservoir.
Highlights were one female SURF SCOTER and one RED-NECKED GREBE (probably juv).
Both (in the afternoon) would be best observed from the Longmont city park on
the sw. shore. If you f
I had a fly-over gull this afternoon at the water tank NE of Windsor Res that
APPEARED to be a Thayer's due to the appearance of the primaries. I could not
make out any other helpful field marks on the bird. It was mixed in with
Ring-billeds, so no Herring to compare it to. (Plenty of Herrings o
One Northern Shrike was at the fenced substation just SW of CR 122 x CR 101.

miles east of here.

Greetings All,
Jerry Ligouri has identified the Union Reservoir RTHA mentioned in my last post
as a Krider's. It has a typical Krider's tail, and the underparts are quite
Krider's like. The patagial bar is atypically prominent. The bird was just
north of the pay-to-enter park (County?) on the

Today I took a friend to the grasslands in search of a Mountain Plover, and
actually found one. It was in a plowed field on the south side of the road
west of Grover and east of WCR 77. There were some piles of dirt by the
gate to the field. It was at the south end of the field.

Yesterday, 2/5, I tried again for the RS Hawk at Windsor. This time I had it
fly by although on the other side of the trees and then straight away. Not the
most gratifying look.

We found 1.
