Black-necked Stilt in San Luis Valley, Rio Grande Co. 3/25-3/26

[Brandon]

Yesterday (25 March 2017), there was a Black-necked Stilt at Home Lake
in Monte Vista, Rio Grande County, not sure how regular they are in
the San Luis Valley. According to a recent e-bird report, the bird is
still there today (26 March).

Some other birds that caused e-bird flags yesterday, for whatever
reason in the San Luis Valley, were a Lincoln's Sparrow at Smith
Reservoir, Costilla County; a Mallard x Mexican Duck intergrade at
Monte Vista NWR, in Rio Grande Co.; Blue-winged x Cinnamon Teal hybrid
and a Savannah Sparrow at Russell Lakes SWA, Saguache County.

Brandon....thanks for the heads up.

All of the species you mentioned are to be expected. Maybe a tad early, but that is the way our SLV migration has been going this year.

Always appreciate hearing about what others are seeing. It really helps build the database I keep for SLV birds. See you down the trail...
