Today Jeanne and I took a ride out to Lincoln County. We birded south of CO Hwy 94 starting on Cty Rd 11 working our way south to Brett Gray Ranch. We had never been there before, but after asking permission to bird there, we were quite impressed.
Highlights:
Chestnut-collared Longspur
Eastern Phoebe
Townsend's Solitaire - at least 5
B&W Warbler
Yellow-headed Blackbirds - over 50
We went to Karval Lake SRA next and ate our lunch on the high overlook above the lake. (Housekeeping note: the restroom up there is quite acceptable.) Not too much was happening there except along the shore where shorebirds were plentiful. Killdeer, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Western SP, Least SP, and a possible Stilt SP. There was a immature Northern Mockingbird and a few Chipping and Lark Sparrows.
Good birding, all!
