Birders,
I was able to break away from my hectic schedule and spend a few hours
birding in Bent County today.
At Clayton Point, about three miles west of the dam on the north side of
John Martin Reservoir, I observed three Lesser Black-backed Gulls, two
adult and one first cycle. In the tamarisks leading to the point, I had
one Field Sparrow with a Lark Sparrow. You can reach this point by
entering John Martin SWA from Bent County Road JJ just east of Road 20,
and heading SE to the prominent point jutting far out into the Reservoir.
At Tempel Grove, I observed a male Black-and-white Warbler in tall
cottonwoods just east of the bridge. There were lots of Yellow-rumped
Warblers (Myrtle, Audubon's and intergrades) and a few Orange-crowned
Warblers here today.
Respectfully,
Duane Nelson
