A Yellow-bellied Flycatcher graced Greenhorn Creek 845 AM .25 mile west of the Colorado City Sewage Treatment Plant, SW Pueblo County. Watched it for about a minute, then lost it & could not refind it. But optimists can try by driving a short distance west of the Plant on dirt road where it forks. Then walk SW towards dead tree along mostly dry creek bed. The bird was in an extensive patch of willows where creek bends to the west. This bird was not only a state lifer but my 400th bird for Pueblo County.
