So, first of all, the Mottled Duck has gotten thumbs up from two LA and one TX birder, two (or three) of which are/have been on their respective BRCs.
Other sightings from yesterday of note
Crow Valley Campground, Weld County:
6 Cassin's Kingbirds: one family group of 2 adults, 2 young; the other two adults, but one carrying food?
4 Calliope and 2 Rufous Hummingbirds + 3 other hummingbirds, probably either one of these two species or Broad-tailed
N Sterling Reservoir: Yawn
Prewitt Reservoir:
Huge numbers of shorebirds, low diversity. Shorebird highlight: 2 Sanderlings
In the Russian Olives n. of the ranger's house (Washington Co): Gray Catbird (surprisingly rare on Plains during mid-summer)
Jackson Reservoir:
Huge numbers of shorebirds (eg, >2000 Baird's). Highlights: 1 Sanderling, 1 Whimbrel (present for 9+ days now). In trees at ne. corner of reservoir: Baltimore Oriole and Willow Flycatcher (another rather rare bird on Plains after mid-June).
Good Birding
