Another good shorebird day, at the Pueblo West Gravel Pit. Rarities continue as well, a juvenile Neotropic Cormorant and 7 Caspian Terns (the terns seem to be flying from the Gravel Pit to Runyon Lake, where 5 were seen today as well, after most had left the Gravel pit). Shorebirds seen were: 2 Willet, 8 Wilson's Phalarope, Long-billed Dowitcher, Black-necked Stilt, American Avocets, Lesser Yellowlegs, Least and Semipalmated Sandpipers, Semipalmated Plover, and Killdeer. Bonaparte's and Franklin's Gulls, numerous swallows and waterfowl. 4 species of grebes as well.
