[cobirds] Pueblo birds 10/17 (Lesser Black-backed Gull and other stuff)

Hi all,

I poked around for a little bit this morning around Pueblo Reservoir, in Pueblo County.  Below Pueblo Reservoir dam, a flock of 150+ Sandhill Cranes flew over the Rock Canyon Swim Beach pond, I also my first of the fall American Tree Sparrow on the North Side of the River, near the Rock Canyon Swim Beach Pond.  I saw an Orange-crowned Warbler and some Yellow-rumped Warblers east of the Snakeskin Picnic Area parking lot. 

At the South Shore Marina at Pueblo Reservoir, there was a Lesser Black-backed Gull (non-adult), two Franklin's Gulls, one adult and three Herring Gulls, with many California and Ring-billed Gulls.  A Western Scrub-Jay was in the trees at the Lake Pueblo State Park office, near the South Shore Marina.

On the lake from the SE part of the reservoir, I saw a couple of Horned Grebes, as well as Eared and Western Grebes.  Good number of Ruddy Ducks and American Coots were on the lake as well.
