After enjoying the shorebird plethora at Prewitt Reservoir this morning, I made a tour of three Morgan county Playas. At MCR JJ and CO 71, the the pond was greatly reduced from recent years, but had a nice perimeter of shore. About a dozen Baird's Sandpipers and a couple of Killdeer were probing the shoreline. More spectacular was a large (50-60) Lark Buntings in a tree snag.
The playa on MCR 26 south of MCR JJ was dry as was the road spanning playa at MCR 23 and MCR HH.
My guess is these playas can be skipped on eastern trips for migratory shorebirds (unless we get a productive monsoon)..
