[cobirds] Pacific Loon -- Pueblo Reservoir, Pueblo Co. 11/4

Hi all,

I spent a little time this morning (4 November), scoping the western
parts of Pueblo Reservoir. The best bird was a Pacific Loon in the
State Wildlife Area on the NW side of Pueblo Reservoir. There were
also a dozen or more Bonaparte's Gulls. From the end of West Fishing
Road, I saw two Common Loons. I walked out from the parking lot by
Hobie Cat Road, and saw four more Common Loons. I didn't check any
other parts of the Reservoir.

If anyone happens to see the Kittiwake today, please report, I know
there are people interested in looking for the bird over the weekend.
I likely will NOT be able to bird Pueblo Reservoir on Saturday, unless
someone finds a murrelet or eider or something, and then I will have
to leave where I'll be, and get out there. I plan to be looking
around Pueblo Reservoir on Sunday\, unless something else comes up.

I've walked around Pueblo City Park, with other birders a couple of
times recently, there have been a good number of birds in there. On
November 1st, there was a Chipping Sparrow, and on November 3rd, there
was a Hermit Thrush. There have been Yellow-rumped Warblers,
Ruby-crowned Kinglets, all three Nuthatch species, Brown Creeper,
Mountain and Black-capped Chickadees, Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers,
Northern Flickers, Dark-eyed Juncos, Cedar Waxwings, American Robins,
and Townsend's Solitaires. The pond has a lot of Wood Ducks right
now. I'm hoping that Pueblo City Park will have some interesting
warbler or something soon, as there are a lot of little birds in
there.
