Crow Valley, L Latham Res, Beebe Draw (Weld Co)

[Dan Stringer]

From visiting three spots in Weld County yesterday 5-5, per Dave L's post Crow Valley was quiet. Most trees budding, some not quite. In my view a seemingly "early" year has stalled into somewhat normal timetables. Yellow-shafted Northen Flicker, Great-horned Owl, a Blue Jay convention, no spring arrivals. I did see a fine-looking McCown's Longspur on the Pawnee, a Whimbrel at Lower Latham Reservoir (south of the road, west side of the larger pond), four Cattle Egrets and a Glossy Ibis at Beebe Draw.
