Prowers and Baca Counties

I am behind on recording the fantastic birding this past week-end (had a bad toothache past two nights with little sleep so haven't downloaded and edited photos yet). On Sunday, May 7 I birded locations in Prowers and Baca Counties with the following notable birds (notable due to being local specialties, new arrivals, birds of conservation interest and unusual/rare species):
