[cobirds] Colorado City, Pueblo Co. 6/30

Van Truan and I were looking around Colorado City, in southern Pueblo County this morning.  While looking at some butterflies and dragonflies, etc., we saw a singing male Indigo Bunting at the Diversion Gate in Colorado City, and two Peregrine Falcons there as well.  Last night, in the Wet Mountains, we saw a Common Poorwill, and saw lots of moths, which Van attacked to his lights and white sheets. 

I also wanted to publicly congratulate Roger and Brenda Linfield, on finding the first for Colorado Sandwich Tern and Jeff Jones for re-finding it.  Another crazy tern for Colorado: the Sooty Tern, three Royals Terns, and now a Sandwich Tern have all made it to Colorado!  I'm guessing Elegant and Gull-billed Tern ought to be coming one of these years too.  

Good birding,
