Mountain Plover Part II/Weld

[The "Nunn Guy"]

Hi all

I social distanced birded with Bill Fink at Crow Valley Campground where we got 22 species in total nothing rare. I left for Keota to get the Mountain Plover. I had a family of four in NW corner of the large prairie dog colony. Bill, if you found yours in that vicinity they had two chicks in tow ;-).

I walked around Windsor's new gravel pit open space and tallied 21 species heard and/or seen--45 minute walk, restoration in progress along shore, south end had natural area being restored, west side had a drainage and a designated prairie dog colony, and north had line of trees. Also, connects to River Bluffs Open Space (Poudre River Trail in NW area, Bald Eagle nest there).

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
