Back to Trip Reports

April 9, 2011: Pueblo,
led by Brandon Percival
Report and photos by Jeannie Mitchell

We had a good hike with Brandon today. The morning was very nice, but it did get terribly windy in the afternoon. We had nine participants and Brandon, a nice size group. We had over 60 species with trip highlights including: Burrowing Owls; Great Horn Owlets; Yellow-headed Blackbird; Snowy Egret; Bewick's Wren; Say's Phoebe; Black Phoebe (pair nesting! ); Bushtit; Bank, Barn, Cliff, Tree Swallows; White-throated Swift; Wilson Snipe; Greater & Lesser Yellowlegs; Osprey (on nest); White-winged Dove; Yellow-rumped Warbler; Turkey Vulture; and Scaled Quail. AND before the group got there, Brandon found a bobcat in a tree at the reservoir! He took a great photo of it! (We even saw some cool green beetles too!)
