Our last full day of birding in Colorado. We started with a pre-breakfast trip back to Pueblo Reservoir to ‘collect’ Curve-billed Thrasher in the camp ground – first bird we heard / saw. Then we spent most of the day at the lovely, though rather birdless, Fountain Creek Regional Park. We did manage to add one tick though – Grey Flycatcher. We checked in to our final overnight stop at Castle Rock before heading out to Castle Wood Canyon State Park for a last couple of hours birding before dark. Nothing of particular note but Pine Siskin, Mountain Chickadee, Spotted Towhee and Northern Flicker in the trees, whilst overhead White-throated Swift mingled with Golden Eagle, Cooper’s Hawk and Turkey Vulture – not a bad end to the day really. Today we’re heading for the airport for an overnight flight back home – we might be able to squeeze in a couple of ‘on route’ sites on the way. As always, birding in the States has been a great mix – good birds, nice people and terrific scenery. What’s not to like?
