[cobirds] Two Prime Shorebird Habitats That Are Active/Weld

Hi all

I ventured up to Weld CR 124 pond and Weld CR 116/Hwy 77 pond (on east)--both were shallow and muddy and full of birds.

Weld CR 116/Hwy 77--I parked on Weld CR 116 and walked fallow field to edge of pond (.1-.2m)

• Baird's Sandpiper - 18
  
• Willet - 1
• Lesser Yellowlegs - 4
• American Avocet - 2
• Wilson's Phalarope - 22
• Greater Yellowlegs - 1
• McCown's Longspur - 6-8 flying around
• Red-necked Phalarope - 1

Weld CR 124 Pond--I didn't walk into Weld CR 122 Pond--which I suspect is just as active.  Park along Weld CR 75/122 walk to pond west about .5m or so passing abandoned farmhouse.  Great Horneds can be found here and/or at abandoned house north of this one along Weld 124.

• Greater Yellowlegs - 5
• Least Sandpiper - 3
• Baird's Sandpiper - 8
• Long-billed Dowitcher - 2
• Semipalmated Plover - 1
• Ducks, geese, pelis
• Other "peeps" - 8-10

Crom Lake has no exposed shoreline yet.

Thanks

Gary Lefko, Nunn
