El Paso county -- Sanderlings and Lesser Black-backed Gull

[Mark Peterson]

COBirders,

Late this evening after all the crazy weather (9 inches of hail in some locations), I made a quick stop at Big Johnson reservoir and had the following highlights:

2 Sanderlings

2 Willet

1 Marbled Godwit

3 Black-necked Stilts

1 Lesser Black-backed Gull (adult or nearly so)

2 Herring Gulls (although not really a highlight one of the birds was an adult which is odd for this time of year at this location)

5 Snowy Egrets

I think most everything else were the usual suspects.
