[cobirds] Hooded Warbler, Greater Roadrunner etc. -- El Paso Co. 4/20


Kara Carragher, Bill Maynard, and I saw a male Hooded Warbler at Chico Basin Ranch (fee area), this morning.  It was in the wet area with Willows, between the banding station and the Bell Grove (this is in El Paso County).  There was also a Broad-winged Hawk in the banding station trees early in the morning, that three of us saw, also in El Paso County.

The best bird on the Pueblo side, of Chico Basin Ranch, was probably the Peregrine Falcon that was flying by at Headquarters Pond.  There was also an Orange-crowned Warbler at the Headquarters and at Rose Pond, not sure if it was the same bird or not.

The drive along Hanover Road (El Paso County) was exciting this morning, at least for Kara, who found, a rare bird for El Paso County, a Greater Roadrunner!  My best find along Hanover Road, was a Mountain Plover. 

Good birding,
