Little Blue Heron - El Paso County

[Bill Maynard]

COBirders,

 

Yesterday, Joy Lake found a molting “Calico” Little Blue Heron at the county’s Drake Pond (a.k.a. Mallard Pond) in Falcon off Hwy 24, take Blue Gill Road to Mallard Road to the two pull offs with short trails.  The bird was seen yesterday under the willow near the end of the newly built trail that ends at the willow and a bench.  The heron also visits a pond upstream on private property that is not visible from public property, the landowner not wanting trespassers there.
