[cobirds] Blanca Shorebirds Update

This is kinda like my report from 2 weeks ago. Shorebirds are in in good numbers and varieties. Lisa and I had 14 species of shorebirds including Willet, Snowy Plover, Solitary, Least, Baird's, Western and Stilt Sandpipers, Gr and Les Yellowlegs, and Long-billed Dowitcher (Alamosa County). Many of the usually good ponds for shorebirds are surprisingly lacking in shorebirds for some mysterious reason. Pond #16 continues to be the hotspot, which is a mile walk south of the first gate on the right as you enter the Wetlands property. Bring a scope.....
