Home Lake Happenings

[John Rawinski]

A good assortment of birds can be seen at Home Lake SWA, which is open for birding and fishing. In the last few days, a good variety of waterbirds are present. All in Rio Grande County. 

60 Am White Pelicans

Great Yellowlegs

Lesser Yellowlegs

LB Dowitcher

Wilsons Snipe

Least Sandpiper

Am Avocet

1 Snow Goose

Westrn and Eared Grebe

Osprey

WF Ibis

Franklins Gull

 Am Peregrine Falcon (off and on)

It should be noted that the Veteran's Center at Home Lake is closed to birders during this critical time so no walking among those areas. It is clearly marked off limits. 

From Alamosa Area, Wood Duck pair was seen in wetlands on South River Road.
