[cobirds] Some Weekend Birds in Prowers, Baca, and Bent Counties

Hello,        Things were quite a bit quieter than the Friday bonanza that Steve Mlodninski had at Lamar CC Woods in Prowers County, though we did score 1 Blackpoll, 1 Wilson's, 2 Y.B. Chat's, several Common Yellowthroats and a Worm eating Warbler. Other morning birds were 3 Mississippi Kites, 5 N. Cardinal's,  some Warbling Vireo's, a Hermit Thrush, flyover Prairie Falcon, 9 Chimney Swift, a Lazuli Bunting, a dozen Swainson's Thrush, and Red Bellied Woodpecker. Over in Bent County in the afternoon Sat. we found single Forster's and Black Terns, a Red Headed Woodpecker, and Townsend's Solitaire. On Sunday morning at Two Buttes SWA in Baca County we had many Bullock's Orioles, 2 Orchard Orioles, a male Blue Grosbeak, Olive sided Flycatcher and a monster flock,[135 birds], of White faced Ibis. There was a gusty wind and the flock didn't settle long enough to pick out any Glossy's. In the afternoon we drove the westernmost border of the John Martin Reservoir lands in Bent County and had a flyover Common Nighthawk and Brown Thrasher. Good May Birding All,           Carl Starace and Sally Swain, Longmont, Co
