Birders,
Today we led the DFO field trip to Pueblo Lake State Park.
I was unaware that hunting is allowed in the state park only a hundred yards from the south marina. This clearly accounted for the poor numbers of water birds.
Highlights:
South Marina: Great Black-backed Gull (adult)
Pacific Loon (last seen hiding by the dam as far away from the gun fire as it could get)
Red-throated Loon (last seen flying west)
West Fisherman Point: 1st cyc Glaucous Gull (way out on the ice to the west avoiding the hunters directly below west Fisherman Point)
The Dam: 2 Golden Eagles
Pueblo West: Some cholla still survive and we did find Scaled Quail on Harmony.
Pueblo Mountain Park: Dipped on Acorn Woodpecker
Colorado Springs: Dipped on Acorn Woodpecker
