east- central CO birding

[William H Kaempfer]

I always seem to have trouble fixing one spot in my subject line since I'm usually on the move. 

I headed out after lunch on the road to Wads.  John Vanderpoel suggested keeping on I 70 to Arriba and then trying for Mountain Plover along Lincoln county road 3E.  Good idea as I found one plus about 50 longspurs including both McCown's and Chestnut- collared.

in Ears itself, I had a blackbird flock with RWBL, YHBL, COGR, GTGR and BHCO.  Then I headed south to the Great Plains Reservoirs.
