[cobirds] Pueblo weather

The weather this weekend, for the Colorado Field Ornithologists Convention in Pueblo, certainly wasn't what  I expected.  I have never remembered snow in Pueblo this late in May ever.  Even though some trips got cancelled or rerouted, (mostly because of dirt roads that are very bad when wet), I still think lots of bird species were found.  I hope everyone got to see some birds they wanted to see and meet new people and still had a good time.  Hopefully the next convention in Pueblo, will not have so many weather issues.  My field trips were interesting, Friday at Chico Basin Ranch was fine, lots of Swainson's Thrushes, and it was very cold.  Saturday morning, we birded in snow in Pueblo, it was very quiet (had to save a few very wet Swallows that couldn't fly), it got better in the afternoon.  Sunday were rerouted and birded Pueblo again, and saw lots of birds, 10 species of shorebirds we're pretty nice for Pueblo.

Thanks to CFO for the award they gave to my uncle Van Truan, at the banquet on Saturday night.  As some of you know, Van is why I became a birder.  He took me out at age six back early 1980s and got me interested in the outdoors and nature.  I would not have become interested in birds, if it wasn't for my uncle Van.  I overheard people saying, they really enjoyed his all day trip he lead on Friday during the convention.

Nice to see everyone in Pueblo, hopefully better weather for your next visit here.
