Pueblo City Park is getting some interesting birds for mid June.

Adult Yellow-crowned Night-Heron found on June 15th by Mark Oreskovich at Lake Joy in Pueblo City Park, he saw it again on June 16th. Other birders saw it this morning at the pond east of the Pueblo Zoo. It flew east, not sure where it goes, as it isn't in Pueblo City Park most of the day, usually early in the morning, maybe later in the day too.

Rare for summer, both a Cackling Goose and a Greater White-fronted Goose are still hanging out today, both present since May.

Green Herons bred successfully, four fledged young and adults are around.

I heard a singing Parula on June 15th, finally saw it today, and it is a Northern Parula.

A Red-eyed Vireo has been singing since mid May in the park.

A pair Mississippi Kites are in the park, which is normal and we're seen today.

Mark Yaeger found a female Summer Tanager on June 16th and last week Evan Carlson photographed a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak in Pueblo City Park.

At Valco Ponds in Pueblo, singing Red-eyed Vireo there as well and a pair of Indigo Buntings today on June 17th.
