Shorebird Workshop field trip report

[Nicholas Komar]

I led the shorebird workshop field trip to Jumbo Reservoir today, for a great group of 9 registrants (you know who you are). Shorebirding was slow (just 12 species between Jumbo and Red Lion SWA). So we ended the day at Prewitt Reservoir south mudflats which hosted 19 species of shorebirds including two rarities: Short-billed Dowitcher and Buff-breasted Sandpiper (photo below). We had twenty species of shorebirds on the day, as well as some nice land birds at Tamarack Ranch SWA including Bell’s Vireo and two Ovenbirds, and several Mississippi Kites in Sterling.

Any White-rumped at Prewitt?

No. Has there ever been a White-rumped Sandpiper in fall migration in Colorado? According to Birds Eye, there have been several eBird  reports this month from further east in the Central Flyway so it seems theoretically possible but I’m not familiar with any documented sightings in Colorado other than spring migrants in May and June.
