More Pueblo County birds 5/2

[Brandon]

Besides for the singing male Northern Paurla, that I already posted
about from the Osprey Picnic Area in Rock Canyon. I found a few other
birds while I walked all of Valco Ponds and Rock Canyon, below Pueblo
Reservoir dam this morning. An adult White-throated Sparrow, a
singing Warbling Vireo, a Clay-colored Sparrow, a Green-tailed Towhee,
two male Bullock's Orioles, two Eastern Phoebes, three Orange-crowned
Warblers, like 20 Yellow-rumped Warblers, eight White-faced Ibis, ten
American Avocets, a Spotted Sandpiper, a Lesser Scaup, two
Buffleheads, like 8 million swallows of all six species that are
normal, among other birds.

At Pueblo Reservoir, a Sanderling (in winter plumage), a Semipalmated
Plover (first seen yesterday), a Western Sandpiper, a Least Sandpiper,
a Long-billed Dowitcher, two White-faced Ibis, a Cassin's Kingbird
(first seen yesterday), and a couple Lark Sparrows.

I still haven't seen a Western Kingbird or Yellow Warbler this year, I
guess they will come sometime.

Yesterday morning, the Carolina Wren was singing at the usual spot,
along the Arkansas River, east of Reservoir Drive in Pueblo.
