[cobirds] DFO Field Trip to Pueblo, 20 Nov

Today's DFO Field Trip around Pueblo, saw the following birds of note:

East of Valco Ponds parking lot in Pueblo:

BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE - 1 juvenile, flew by the group at 9:35am along
the Arkansas River, near Valco Ponds #2 and 3, and flew west, later
seen at Pueblo Reservoir, off West Fishing Road. This isn't the one
that was present from 30 Oct to 15 Nov, as today's bird was one was a
juvenile bird, and that other bird was an adult bird. I think like 85
birders now have seen a Black-legged Kittiwake at Pueblo Reservoir
this month!

BANK SWALLOW - 1 still flying around over the Arkansas River, near
Valco Ponds -- can this bird stay to December 1st, for a new winter
record for Colorado, we'll see.

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - 1 I saw it on far side of the 3rd Valco Pond
(dis-appeared quickly)

Greater Roadrunner - 2 seen along the road, on the west side of the
3rd Valco Pond

Say's Phoebe - 2 near the Valco Bridge

Mexican Duck/Mallard - 1 along the River, near Valco Ponds #3

Bewick's Wrens, Bushtits, a Yellow-rumped Warbler, Curve-billed
Thrasher were also seen, on our walk.

Didn't see the White-winged Scoter or Rusty Blackbird, from two days
ago. The scoter might be on some other pond, or left the area. The
blackbird is likely somewhere along the river.


Pueblo Reservoir:

Great Black-backed Gull - 1 adult on the South Shore Marina tires
A Pacific Loon and two Common Loons - off West Fishing Road


Pueblo City Park:

Ira Sanders called me, to let me know they found a Yellow-bellied
Sapsucker - a juvenile in NE part of the park this afternoon

A pretty fun day in Pueblo.
