Pueblo Reservoir (Pueblo Co.) morning bird 2/6

[Brandon K. Percival]

At least 5 Bald Eagles were around Pueblo Reservoir this morning, during the Annual Eagle Days.  A few other interesting things that I saw, were a Greater White-fronted Goose off North Picnic Road early this morning with some Canada Geese.  Over at the South Shore Marina this morning, I saw a first year Lesser Black-backed Gull and a juvenile Thayer's Gull.  At the North Shore Marina, there was a Merlin and Loggerhead Shrike.  At West Fishing Road, the adult Great Black-backed Gull flew by and the Curve-billed Thrasher was running around the parking lot.  Along the road to the North Shore Marina, there was a Ferruginous Hawk.  There was a Northern Shrike along the road below the dam.  Not too much else on the lake, Red-breasted Mergansers, Northern Pintails, Horned and Western Grebes, Redheads, Lesser and Greater Scaup.
