COMMON GALLINULE in El Paso County 4/19

[Brandon]

It seems like some birders don't post much about rare birds in Colorado on cobirds, as much as they used to.  Hopefully Colorado Bird Records Committee Review species at least get posted more often.  Tanja Britton found a COMMON GALLINULE today (19 April 2022) at Cross Creek Regional Park in Fountain, El Paso County.  The bird was present all day, hopefully it hangs around.  View from the south side of the pond, looking across the pond to the north.  It comes in and out of the reeds.  Since, there's only 12 accepted records for Colorado, and none in El Paso County, at least a few people who saw it, and photographed it today, did document it for the Colorado Birds Records Committee.  Remember to document any CBRC review species that you see in Colorado.
