[cobirds] Friday birds in Eastern Colorado

Ten of us started birding out east of Limon this morning in the on-and-off
rain and fog. Passerine migration was fairly slow with NO "eastern"
warblers being seen.

HOWEVER, at Flagler SWA several briefly saw a WOOD THRUSH (same color as
several of the Brown Thrashers in the area, but a much smaller bird with
much shorter tail and black SPOTS vs teardrop shaped markings on the
breast).

A flooded field along US 6 west of Prewitt Reservoir contained 23
White-faced Ibis and one GLOSSY IBIS. Photo and eBird checklist at:

Weld County 48 (south side of Lower Latham Reservoir) had ~250 White-faced
Ibis and 2 (TWO) GLOSSY IBIS! Dean Shoup got a GREAT photo of the closer
bird. Photo can be seen in eBird checklist:

Lastly...the bird of the day was a HUDSONIAN GODWIT in alternate (breeding)
plumage seen on Weld County Rd 42. Photos in eBird checklist:

This above location also had a GREAT variety of shorebird species as can be
seen in the above checklist.
