[cobirds] Common Redpolls, Pawnee National Grasslands, Weld County

Kinda took Dave Leatherman's route today from Timnath Reservoir out to
the Norma's Grove area. Along County Rd. 57 a little north of the Hwy
14 intersection there were more then 20 Common Redpolls in some brush
along the road right under the barb wire fences. Saw several of them
feeding on dead sunflower seeds.

Also heard a good amount of Lapland Longspurs along County Rd. 57 and
County Rd. 100..only got quick glimpses.

At Timnath Reservoir I was a little surprised to find a late Say's
Phoebe hanging around the parking lot, flying all over the place.
There were 2 Ross's Geese and a Blue Morph Snow Goose mixed in with a
very large group of Canada Geese clear across the reservoir. Typical
waterfowl was seen...Buffleheads, Hooded Mergansers, Canvasbacks.
Barely any raptors anywhere today.
