Brandon, would you please post this for me. I seem to be on a do-not-accept-messages list. Have tried to post repeatedly, but it doesn't go through. Thanks.

 

 

The Black-throated Spaarrows continue at the Pueblo Reservoir. Today at 0845 hrs. they were above The Arroyo at the base of the mesa. Follow the arroyo toward the mesa until you get to the head of the arroyo. I found the birds, beyond a half-dead tree against the foot of the mesa, and working leftward.

If you do not want to access the site by the strenuous trail described in the origianl 5 July message, you can turn right on South Greenway (2.7 mi from Highway 50 on South Purcell), go 0.2 mi to where South Greenway makes a 90-degree turn and park off the road. Follow the trail to the unused road mentioned in the original message, turn left and walk to the arroyo. The distance is somewhat greater, but the grade is much less physically demanding.
