More migrants in Fremont Co

I hit a number of areas around Fremont Co today so will summarize:

Brush Hollow Reservoir-one Osprey (first I've seen in Fremont Co this year)and a Great-tailed Grackle

Eastern Fremont Co--one Eastern Phoebe, calling vociferously (but disappointingly there were no Lewis'Woodpeckers that are usually there or Scaled Quail, both species of concern)

Florence River Road--one (late) Greater White-fronted Goose with a very unusual (for here) Snow Goose, 4 Lesser Yellow-legs, 2 Wilson's Snipe and 15-20 Wild Turkey.

Private property east of Canon City--2 Black Phoebes (this is a location where Black Phoebes have nested for the past several years)

Canon City Riverwalk--one (late) Mountain Chickadee (actually the first one I've seen since last winter here)

Eastern Canon City--one Lesser Yellowlegs, one Great-tailed Grackle and 3 American Avocets.

And several flocks of primarily Tree Swallows along the Arkansas River and local ponds.
