Pueblo City Park, Pueblo Co. 5/2

[Brandon K. Percival]

Several Pueblo birders were in Pueblo City Park this morning.  The highlights were as follows:

Black-throated Gray Warbler - 1 singing male

Townsend's Warbler - 1 female

Broad-winged Hawk - 2 adults, 1 younger bird

Golden-crowned Kinglet - 1

Also, Virginia's, Orange-crowned, and Yellow-rumped Warblers.  There were hundreds of Chipping Sparrows, also singing Brewer's Sparrows as well.  Also, Red-breasted Nuthatch and White-breasted Nuthatch, Mountain Chickadee, Pine Siskins, and Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

At Cattail Crossing Pond in Pueblo West, I saw an Eastern Kingbird.

Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center has just taken in a very young Canada Goose gosling.  (It possibly could be a Cackling Goose, but how would you know at such a young age?)  It is between tennis-ball and softball size; if it stretches its neck out fully, it’s roughly 8” tall. 

 

At this point, this gosling would be much better off if the staff could place it with a family group of similar-sized goslings.   It was found in the Fort Collins area.  If it could be released with an appropriate family group, Parks & Wildlife might consider the Boulder County area too.  If anyone has seen a family of Canada Geese with goslings near this size recently in these areas, could you write to me off-list as soon as possible? 

 

Thanks so much for any help.
