A Lesser Black-backed Gull alternate plumage was found at San Luis Lake March 25th by Dale and Bev Hettinger. This represents, so far as I know, only the 4th San Luis Valley record for the species. (Alamosa Cty) . The next most recent LBBG was one I photographed at San Luis Lake in 2018, and I wonder if this is the same bird returning to a familiar area.
A Mexican Duck was found last week at the Monte Vista Refuge Auto Tour Loop by Lance Cheslock and Rachael Couoh (Rio Grande Cty).
Still lots of cranes here in the Valley. Best places to view them are on the 7S and 3E roads, Monte Vista Refuge.
I have read the conditions on the latest COVID 19 order for Colorado. One of the permitted activities reads as follows:
"To engage in outdoor activity, such as, walking, hiking, nordic skiing, snowshoeing, biking or running. For purposes of outdoor activity, state parks will remain open to the public to engage in walking, hiking, biking, running, and similar outdoor activities but all playgrounds, picnic areas, other similar areas conducive to public gathering, and attended areas shall be closed."
So what that means is we can still go out and bird individually IMO. Stay well all.
