[cobirds] El Paso county --- Red-necked Grebe, Pacific Loon and...

COBirders,

My dad and I stopped by Big Johnson reservoir late this evening, just after 7, and found a few nice birds.  There was a RED-NECKED GREBE out in the northern half of the reservoir and a PACIFIC LOON just west of the grebe.  There was also another LOON but it was only in view for a brief moment before disappearing behind the dam.  There was a single RED-NECKED PHALAROPE fairly close to the island.  There were about 15 BAIRD'S, 1 WESTERN and maybe 10 more peeps along the shoreline that we could see.  Some of the birds were just too distant to ID.
