Mtn Plovers NOW El Paso Cty

[mel...@comcast.net]

We just saw 2 mountain plovers on Squirrel Creek Rd in eastern El Paso country. They were directly across the road from the red brick ruins of a school. There were 2 walking in a prairie dog field
Directions : take Myers Road east of Peyton highway to squirrel Creek Road. go north so you are about 1 quarter mile north of Deering road. the birds were in the field across the road from the school ruins.

I plotted this on Google Earth for those who might be interested.  The School Ruins are at  38° 37.319'N, 104° 20.952'W.  Paste those coordinates into any mapping software.

Or just paste into your browser window, and hit RETURN. It's that simple. Thanks to Rick Taylor and others who post coordinates. I need to get better at this.

A few notes for Boulder County birders: Sunday morning, Mar. 29, at Panama Rez: American White Pelican and Ring-necked Pheasant, and Franklin's Gull nearby; Monday morning, Mar. 30, in Gregory Canyon: Western Bluebird and Turkey Vulture, Canyon Wren singing, several Brown Creepers singing, and Mountain Chickadees and Red-breasted Nuthatches nest-building.
