Presa de la Soledad - Colon, Queretaro

I birded this reservoir near Colon last week whilst a friend did some sailing.  In truth, there wasn't a lot of birds about - the sides are too rocky for waders, and there isn't great cover or vegetation.  




There was an abundance of Great, Snowy and Cattle Egrets, as well as Great Blue Herons and Black-crowned Night Herons, and a small group of Neotropic Cormorants.


Also on the water were a few American Coots, a group of Shovelers and a Pied-billed Grebe.  In the scrub, I had a raucous group of Great Kiskadees, which are unusual for the area.  There were plenty of Turkey Vultures, and I had a nice Osprey over.  The other highlight was a Greater Roadrunner doing as its names suggests.
