[cobirds] Pueblo City Park 10/30 (full report)

Hi all,

At 10:04am I found a male Black-throated Blue Warbler and then at 10:07am I found a Scarlet Tanager in winter plumage.  Both birds re-appeared for Mark Yaeger and I at 11:37am.  We also saw four Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers (3 adults, 1 juvenile) and a male and female Williamson's Sapsucker.  Leon Bright and Pearle Sandstrom-Smith and Clif Smith were all able to see Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers and other birds, though not the tanager or the warbler.  All of these birds were in or near the ravine in the north east part of Pueblo City Park.  There were a variety of other bird species around this area:  one Yellow-rumped Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Brown Creepers, Red-breasted and White-breasted Nuthatches, Bushtits, Black-capped and Mountain Chickadees, Dark-eyed Juncos, House Finches, American Robins, Townsend's Solitaires, Downy Woodpeckers, and Northern "Red-shafted" Flickers.  Photos were taken of the warbler, tanager, and at the Williamson's Sapsuckers.

In the west part of the park, there was an Evening Grosbeak, a Pygmy Nuthatch, and a Northern "Yellow-shafted" Flicker.
