Hi all

Toured Weld over weekend as usual ... total of 63 species. Highlights:

Thick-billed Longspur - 7+ .5 south of CR 114/45 on both side of road but mostly west. Turn off your car. Listen and watch. Easy to hear flying around and singing. I stayed on road whole time but you could walk out there to find, too
Loggerhead Shrike CR 102
Sharp-shinned Hawk - 2 out in the open. CR 110 Lone Tree Creek crossing and Drake Lake
Black-necked Stilt - 2 Crom Lake
Long-billed Dowitcher Crom Lake
Herring Gull Crom Lake (first time I have seen one there)
Sora CR 84/31 marsh (west of)
Great-tailed Grackle - 4 CR 124 pond, first time I have seen them there
Horned Grebe Windsor Lake (empty of birds)
American Avocet Stwerat's Pond
Baird's Sandpiper Stewart's Pond
Mourning Dove - 3 (first time this spring)
Rough-legged Hawk CR 124
Sandhill Crane - 70 flyover Cozzens Lake

I posted photos at links below of the Thick-billed Longspur rest of photos later today.

Thanks, Gary Lefko, Nunn
