Chris Knight and I walked the Arkansas River, from below the dam to Valco Ponds parking lot (Pueblo County), hoping to find the Least Sandpiper photographed yesterday (reported on e-bird). We found two Least Sandpipers this morning, I'm guessing these are the same two I found back on December 14th, on the Pueblo Reservoir Christmas Bird Count, though not many sightings of them between that date and yesterday and today. This is the first time I've seen Least Sandpipers in Colorado during the month of January. The wind came up, and we didn't bird anywhere else. Looks like many people are roaming around Pueblo Reservoir today (looking at e-bird reports), finding some of the previously reported rarities.
