SE Colorado Quick Trip

[mvjo...@gmail.com]

Lisa and I had limited time but managed a quick trip to SE Colorado Monday-Tuesday. It is always a joy for us to get down that way and see species we don't normally get in the San Luis Valley. Monday was rainy/snowy and birds were hard to come by. Tuesday was better. 

Hasty: Slow, cold and windy. Not much to be seen

Lamar CC: 2 Summer Tanagers, 2 Cardinals, Swainson's Thrush, 3 Lazuli Buntings, pretty slim for Warblers. 

Two Buttes: Nice variety but not like we remember in past years. Eastern Phoebe, American Redstart, Swainsons Thrushes, Bullock's Oriole, Lewis's Woodpecker...but again slim on warblers. A quick trip was way better than no trip!
