[cobirds] Kiowa County Reservoirs and John Martin Res (Bent County) today

Greetings All

A quick summary before bed
Nee So Pah Reservoir had a Thayer's and a Mew Gull today, both juvs (well, actually, Mew transitioning from juv to first winter) + a tardy BW Teal

Neegronda and Neenoshe were dead
Jett Reservoir had a moderate amount of ducks, but nothing of true note

John Martin had 5000+ plus ducks of the usual sorts and

10 shorebirds highlighted by a Red Phalarope nearly eaten by a Prairie Falcon (and then decided to depart)
a late Wilson's Phalarope
4 Lesser and >20 Greater yellowlegs
>200 Least Sands
>100 LB Dows
1 Dunlin
>100 Am Avocet
2 Pecs
and 7 or so Killdeer

Also, apparently unprecedented for November was a raft of 885 Franklin's Gulls

2 Common Loons were on the water, but no RN Grebe or rarer loons

A Vesper Sparrow - a tad late - was along one of the many roads

Add onto to that nearly 1000 Western Grebes and it was quite a party out there. 
I wish that I knew what I looked over for I most certainly missed some stuff there

Cheers
