Birders,
Followers of cobirds have received rave reviews of stunning numbers and diversity of shorebirds and waterbirds from Adobe Creek Reservoir the past few weeks from me and other observers. I personally observed over 20 species of shorebirds the past couple of weeks, as well as up to 4 Sabine’s Gulls.
Today, I visited the Reservoir. The south lake is nearly empty, and it took me a while to find just two Greater Yellowlegs and one American Avocet. This contrasts sharply with Todd Deininger’s 14 species of shorebirds as recently as last Saturday. If no news is good news, negative news is not necessarily better. I don’t think it is worth a trip to this out-of-the-way location at this time.
On a brighter SE Colorado note, I found one Blue-headed Vireo, one Black-and-White Warbler and one Tennessee Warbler at Tempel Grove in NE Bent County yesterday. Nothing worth writing home about, but evidence that passerine migration is not quite over for the year yet.
Respectfully,
Duane Nelson
