[cobirds] El Paso County Birds

COBirders,

Brad Tyler and I spent the morning and early afternoon looking at Great Blue Heron rookeries and birding several other places in El Paso County. We saw around 66 species. My perception is that Great Blue Heron numbers are lower here this year.  Nothing really outstanding, but still a good day. Best birds for the respective areas follow:

Big Johnson Reservoir Area

Vesper Sparrow - 12

Chipping Sparrow - 4

Prairie Falcon - 1

Bald Eagle - 2 adults and 2 chicks

Golden Eagle - 1

Ferruginous Hawk -1 

Egret sp. (probably Great) - 3

Bonaparte's Gull - 8

Black-necked Stilt - 1

American Avocet - 3

Willet - 2

flock of peeps - 8

Ibis sp. - 3

Clark's Grebe - 1

Western Kingbird - 1

Squirrel Creek Road Stock Pond

Wilson's Phalarope - 1

Solitary Sandpiper - 2

Brewer's Sparrows - 6

Loggerhead Shrike - 2

Good birding,

Ken Pals
