Pueblo birds on 8/24

[Brandon Percival]

I walked all of the Valco Ponds side of the river, below Pueblo
Reservoir dam (Pueblo County) this morning (24 August 2016), for the
first time since early June. It was cloudy which was nice, and a lack
of mosquitoes was a bonus.

Highlights:
Williamson's Sapsucker - 1 young male -- rare at this location
Northern Waterthrush - 1
Black Phoebe - 2
Eastern Phoebe - 1
Orchard Oriole - 1
Brown Thrasher - 2

Other migrants: Wilson's Warblers, Western Tanagers, Black-headed
Grosbeaks, Tree Swallow, among other birds.
