Pueblo 8/16 (Evening Grosbeak/N. Waterthrush)

[Brandon]

Robb Hinds, Chris Knight, and I walked Valco Ponds/Rock Canyon, below Pueblo Reservoir dam (Pueblo County) this morning.

Best birds:

Evening Grosbeak - 1 west of Valco Ponds parking lot along the Bluff, calling and then seen

Northern Waterthrush - 1 close to the River, west side of the Valco Ponds parking lot, along Hwy 96.

Black Phoebe - 1 and Eastern Phoebe - 5

All three species of kingbirds, two Cassin's, two Western, and two Easterns.

Male Ladder-backed Woodpecker in Rock Canyon, east side of the Osprey Picnic Area.

Probably close to 10 Red-breasted Nuthatches.
