From a single reservoir in Colorado in winter and perhaps from anywhere else, Pueblo Res continually produces a stunning assortment of waterbirds. Is it the water, is it the unique longitude and latitude. One thing we do know is there is a pethora of excellent birdwatchers in the area.

Hi all,
I was able to join Joey Kellner, Dick Schottler, and Doug Ward for a full
day of birding around Pueblo Reservoir and Valco Ponds today.
Pueblo Reservoir highlights:
Long-tailed Duck - 2
Short-billed Gull - 1 adult
Great Black-backed Gull - 1 adult
Lesser Black-backed Gull - 10+
Iceland (Thayer's) Gull - 3+
Bonaparte's Gull - 3
Yellow-billed Loon - 2
Red-throated Loon - 2
Pacific Loon - 1
Common Loon - 11+
Double-crested Cormorant - 3
Western, Horned, Eared Grebes continue
lots of Red-breasted Mergansers
Mountain Bluebirds
Loggerhead and Northern Shrike
Valco Ponds highlights:
Eastern Towhee - 1 female
White-throated Sparrow - 1-2
Yellow-rumped Warbler - 2
A very fun cold day, though it was good to see what is still around, after
the -19 degrees Pueblo had the other night. The ice-line is still west of
West Fishing Road.
