[cobirds] shorebird migration and mountain birds


This morning, a fall migrant Greater Yellowlegs was on the shore in the southeastern part of Pueblo Reservoir, Pueblo County, 2 July 2014.

I was up in the Wet Mountains in Custer County, last weekend, and saw a family of American Three-toed Woodpeckers, a male, a female, and a couple of newly fledged young hanging around the adults.  Also, and always a highlight for me, was seeing a Flammulated Owl (my favorite bird species) after dark one evening.  Red Crossbills and Evening Grosbeaks were flying around up there too (I hear there was a Red Crossbill recently in a downtown Pueblo yard), and I found a pair of Red-naped Sapsuckers going in and out of a nest hole.  I didn't see any Rufous or Calliope Hummingbirds in the Wet Mountains, last weekend, I expect they will be around there soon.

Good birding,
