Pueblo Neotropic Cormorant 4/5 update

[Brandon]

Since Neotropic Cormorant is a state wide review species for the Colorado Birds Records Committee, I thought I should update, the bird is still present on the Pueblo West Gravel Pit, Pueblo County on 5 April 2021.  Hopefully people who got good photos of it, will also submit them to the Colorado Birds Records Committee.  This is the longest staying Neotropic Cormorant ever in Pueblo County, first seen on March 25, 2021.  Very happy birders have been able to see it.  The pond should be getting more shorebirds soon, so far, it has been slow, with only Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Wilson's Snipe, Killdeer, and an unidentified peep species.  There have been over 200 California Gulls here, and some were seen mating today.

Good birding,
