[cobirds] Stalker Pond, Yuma County

I made it out to Stalker Pond just outside Wray in Yuma County late this afternoon.  A stiff wind was blowing from the south toward a large weather system just to the north of town that included a severe thunderstorm warning and a brief tornado warning.  The north side of Stalker had lots of birds, perhaps held up by the wind.  Water birds included a Wood Duck, 3 Solitary Sandpipers and a Greater Yellowlegs as well as a Black-crowned Night Heron.  Passerines featured a Great Crested Flycatcher, Tennessee Warbler, Orange-crowned Warbler, Northern Cardinal (pair) and at least 6 Baltimore Orioles.
