Snowy Plover at Blanca Wetlands

[mvjo...@gmail.com]

There are still some Snowy Plover at Blanca Wetlands. The watchable wildlife area still has some. Lisa and I birded the area today and had a good variety of shorebirds with Baird's and Least Sandpipers, Lesser Yellowlegs, hundreds of Avocets and Semi-palmated Plover. North Mallard area is your best bet right now and morning is better than mid day when birds seem to wander off. There are a handful of Peregrine Falcons harassing and catching shorebirds there and is quite a spectacle to watch. All in Alamosa County.
