Richard Stevens:
Terry Michaels found a Greater Prairie-Chicken along Logan County Road 93, between CR 44 & CR 46 this morning. Winds were again 15mph, gusts to 29 mph.
Few birds were moving around Jumbo Reservoir (Logan/Sedgwick). High winds ended the trip early.
A quick stop at Prewitt Reservoir (Logan/Sedgwick) relocated the Western Gull and Lesser Black-backed Gull. Few land birds were found among the swaying cottonwood trees.
My email to cobirders listserve:
Hello cobirders;
I made it over to Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe) this afternoon and watched the Jaeger for about 2.5 hours. Twice it came halfway between the Lake Loop and buoy #4. It landed several times near buoy #4. As I was about to take photos a sailboard w/"sailors" decided to use the buoy as a turn around point. I think Dave King is correct and that it is a Parasitic Jaeger.
Other birds observed included four Sabine's Gulls, three Common Terns flew by, three Black Terns also, 2 dozen+ Barn Swallows, one Cliff Swallow and one Bank Swallow. At the southeast corner of the Lake Loop I found a 1st year male Western Tanager, one Western Wood-pewee, two noisy House Wrens, a flock of 8+ Chipping Sparrows, two Song Sparrows.
