Today, there were at least 10 singing Dickcissels on Swede Lane, Rio Grande County. This is the road about 1-2 miles north of Monte Vista on Hwy 285. Watch for Swede lane going to the west. Birds were in the first mile on north side of road.
Had a report the Common Shelducks have again been seen at Blanca Wetlands.
Also, a report of Bendire's Thrasher came to water at a private residence near Capulin. This species is always of interest and was well described by the observer.
