[cobirds] Bent county --- TRICOLORED HERON

COBirders,,

John Drummond, Bill Maynard and I spent some time in southeast Colorado today looking for both birds and odonata (dragonfly things).  While at Lake Hasty, John found an adult TRICOLORED HERON hanging out with some SNOWY EGRETs near the Osprey platform.  The bird was re-found a few hours later by Duane Nelson.  We also had at least two ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHERs today.  one in Bent and the other in Prowers.

Duane joined us to help us look for the Pomarine Jaeger at Blue Lake but no luck on that.  We did have at least one MARBLED GODWIT and at least ten LONG-BILLED CURLEWs, nothing unexpected.
