[cobirds] Longspurs and More ["Weld County"/Larimer]

Hi all

I led a fantastic Saturday trip to (Weld County-annexed) Chalk Bluffs Road (by far easiest place in "Weld County" to view both longspurs) ... :-) ... we saw both adults and immatures (probably underestimated, too):

• McCown's Longspur - Three dozen+.  At one point we had group of a dozen sitting together on fence line
• Chestnut-collared Longspur - Two dozen+ with some small groups
• Loads of Grasshopper Sparrow, Horned Lark, Western Meadowlark, and Lark Bunting, of course

Chalk Bluffs Road if you haven't been there has some exquisite taller grasses and a plethora of longspurs.

Sunday

• Baird's Sandpiper - 12+ [Woods Lake, Severance, Weld]

Thanks, Gary Lefko, Nunn
