[cobirds] Fountain Creek/Pinello Ranch Birds, El Paso County

COBirders,

My Birding for Beginners 101 groups birded at Fountain Creek Regional Park and the nearby Pinello Ranch (limited access) on Friday and Saturday mornings.  There were a few migrants coming through. We had lots (100) of Yellow-rumped Warblers on Friday; there were fewer on Saturday morning at FCRP.  

Best birds at Fountain Creek Regional Park included:

Harris's Sparrow -1 at the nature center

Plumbeous Vireo -2 at the nature center

Green-tailed Towhee - 1 at the nature center

Clark's Grebe - 1

Yellow Warbler -1 FOS

Common Yellowthroat - 1

Lesser Yellowlegs-1

Solitary Sandpiper-1

Spotted Sandpiper-1

Best birds at Pinello Ranch:

White-faced Ibis - 1

Lesser Yellowlegs - 1

American Avocet - 3

Horned Grebe - 1

Chipping Sparrow

Brewer's Sparrow

In addition to these Kaye L reported a Blackpoll Warbler at FCRP north of Rice's Ponds.

The numbers of birds seems to be a little slow for May 4 in my opinion, but if I remember right, last year the major wave of migrants didn't come through here until May 13.
