Pueblo birds 1/22

[Brandon]

The weather was finally nice around here, and not too cold.  Pueblo Reservoir was windless this morning, so scoping the lake was nice.  Highlights on Pueblo Reservoir today: YELLOW-BILLED LOON, a Pacific Loon, 3 Common Loons, Red-necked Grebe, Lesser Black-backed, Iceland (Thayer's), California Gulls (and many Ring-billed and Herring), other birders saw the Great Black-backed Gull that avoided me today.  A land bird surprise, was a Field Sparrow that Al Garner and I saw with some American Tree Sparrows, and seen by many other birders.  Below the dam, there was an immature Black-crowned Night-Heron.
