More Canon City birding

Yesterday I found 4 white geese with a flock of dark geese but they flew before I could confirm their identification. Today I refound them and they were all Ross's. We don't get many white geese in the Canon City area and it is interesting that we get the less populous Ross's. And I had the opportunity to identify the dark geese as Lesser Canada's.

There were also 2 more Greater Yellowlegs here yesterday. Though I was able to scope them to see the long, upturned bill they also provided confirmation of their being Greater rather than Lesser's by their calls.

Additionally I found a Lincoln's Sparrow, a species very uncommon in this early in this area.
