[cobirds] Black Scoters (Pueblo) 11/24


There were two female type Black Scoters on the farthest east pond along the Goodnight River Trail in Pueblo, this afternoon.  The best way to see them, is to park at the Pueblo Nature Center parking lot ($3 fee) for parking, and then walk east along the paved bike trail from the Nature Center, the river bends to the south, and not far past that, you can scope the pond on the other side of the river by looking through the trees where there are openings, this is the pond they are at.  They were next to some Common Goldeneyes.
 
Other highlights today:
Tennessee Warbler - 1 still present in Pueblo City Park, with Yellow-rumped Warblers, nuthatches, kinglets, and chickadees

Blue-winged Teal - 1 along the Arkansas River, at the Pueblo Nature Center (photographed)

Greater Yellowlegs - 1 along the Arkansas River, up and down stream, from the footbridge at Snakeskin Picnic Area, below Pueblo Reservoir dam

Rusty Blackbird - 7 along the Arkansas River, up stream, from the footbridge at Snakeskin Picnic Area, below Pueblo Reservoir dam

Say's Phoebe - 1 along the Arkansas River, up stream, from the footbridge at the Snakeskin Picnic Area, below Pueblo Reservoir dam

At Pueblo Reservoir, it was steamy, so hard to see what all was around, when I was out there.  Two Common Loons and one Pacific Loon off Sailboard launching area.
