Canyon Towhee in Las Animas, and more

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,

Although they are not considered strongly migratory, Canyon Towhees are
only present in the fall, winter and spring around Las Animas, Bent
County. I get them in my yard about three out of every four years, and
they often stay until spring. My first one of the season just appeared
this afternoon. I still have a couple of Black-chinned Hummingbirds
frequenting my feeders. Birders are welcome, but I'd prefer advance notice.

I went to Adobe Creek Reservoir (Bent and Kiowa Counties) this morning,
and failed to find Reddish Egret, American Golden-Plover, Sabine's Gull
or anything I consider worthy of posting to cobirds.
