Folks,
I have posted some pics of Colorado's first
Sandwich Tern on the link below. The SATE was fairly cooperative at
Manitou Lake this afternoon, flying and feeding on both sides of Hwy 67.
The tern will roost on the snags in the middle of the tiny lake, then fly and
feed in the smaller estuaries to the south. A big 'Thank You' go to Roger
and Brenda, Jeff and Mark... AWESOME!
Anyone who has been here for more than a couple of
years knows that June is not boring. Consider: Tropical Parula,
White-eared Hummingbird, Hooded Oriole, Western Gull, Great Kiskadee, Royal
Tern, Sandwich Tern, Bronzed Cowbird, Swallow-tailed Kite, Zone-tailed
Hawk, etc...
