Hi all,

13 birders helped with the Pueblo Christmas Bird Count this year, on Friday 2 January 2026.  We finished with 94 species of birds on count day, and two others during count week (American White Pelican and Greater White-fronted Goose).  The big highlights were two new species for this count, a female Black Scoter and a nicely photographed Northern Yellow Warbler.  Other highlights, thousands of Snow and Ross's Geese, Greater Scaup, 6 Double-crested Cormorants, 5 Black-crowned Night-Herons, 5 Virginia Rail, a Sora, Lesser Black-backed Gull, 122 White-winged Doves, American Barn Owl, 5 Western Screech-Owls, 8 Great Horned Owls, Say's Phoebe, Chihuahuan Raven, only 1 Black-capped Chickadee, a Mountain Chickadee, 2 Red-breasted Nuthatch, 2 Brown Creeper, Winter Wren, 3 Curve-billed Thrashers, 52 Cedar Waxwings, a Lapland Longspur, a Swamp Sparrow, Common Grackle, 2 Brown-headed Cowbirds.

A big thank to all the helpers, sometimes it is hard to get enough helpers for this count.
