I shot out for a peregrination within the Pawnee this morning. It's still a bit early in migration out on the plains; here are some details for what's happening in northern Weld county. A goodly number of Sharp-tailed Grouse just east of Grover. I had two groups of 7 or 8 birds along CR 130 (out btw CR 95 & 105). They were perched up on trees and power lines, providing good views. A couple of Golden Eagles, along with numerous horned and meadow larks. The playas I passed had some water, but not much. No shorebird activity….yet.
Adams & Bunker Reservoir #1 was full of water, along with a nice assortment of dabbling ducks. The creek through Crow Valley campground, however, is dry, as is the marshy area just north of the campground; nothing unusual in the campground, except for the palpable excitement among the hordes of boy scouts camping there. Crossing fingers for some spring precipitation to refresh the creeks and playas among the plains and a sweet spring migration.
Good Birding.
