I tried to bird Pueblo Reservoir a little bit ago. The steam rising off the lake made it very difficult. I did see three Common Loons, a surprising three Franklin's Gulls (getting pretty late for them around here), and a few Bonaparte's Gulls all close to shore. There were a lot of gulls on the shore in SE corner of the reservoir, though besides for the Franklin's and Bonaparte's, the only other species I saw were the regular three: Ring-billed, Herring, and California. I was hoping to see Snow Geese (since I haven't seen a Ross's Goose this year and they usually travel together), though no Snow Geese flew by me unfortunately. Hopefully the Reservoir will have less steam at some point (maybe not until Friday though, when it suppose to get above freezing). Mountain Bluebirds are around the junipers in good numbers at Pueblo Reservoir right now.
