[cobirds] Kiowa County, CO, November 18, 2023

I easily found the immature Black-legged Kittiwake, first found by Glenn Walbek, at the Long Lake playa south of Haswell in Kiowa County CO, this morning. Also present were a late Black-bellied Plover and 7 late Sandhill Cranes. 

At nearby Adobe Creek Reservoir, I saw two immature/female Black Scoters from the lakefront  just northeast of the Boat Ramp (Kiowa County). They were not far offshore, in the southeast corner of the north part of the reservoir. The scoters were never more than a few feet apart. 

On the spit north of the dam of Adobe Creek Reservoir (Bent County), there was a very late Pectoral Sandpiper.
