[cobirds] White-rumped Sandpipers still, Spring Park resr, Eagle Cty

Hi all,

 

Still 1 White-rumped Sandpiper at the south end of Spring Park reservoir, El Jebel this morning (Saturday) showing well.  Also a pair of Wilson’s Phalaropes, a (White-faced) Ibis and the basic plumaged Common Loon still.

 

At the north end of the  reservoir, 13 more (White-faced) Ibis, and 10 more (White-rumped) Sandpipers, distant from the road, but distinctive.

 

White-rumped Sandpipers, whilst a regular passage migrant “east of the divide”,  are very rare in Western Colorado.

 

Good birding all
