Interesting El paso county birds (BCNH and ibis)

[Bill Kosar]

   I did some looking around Fountain today and in addition the many regulars I saw some ibis in the southeast corner of the Kane and Link road intersection. Flood irrigation of the surrounding fields seems to be just getting started so they should be around for a couple of days. I suspect most or all of them were white-faced, they were too far away to see well.

   There was a Black crowned night heron on the east side of the large Rice's pond at Fountain creek nature center. Also a pair of pelicans.
