I saw three Plegadis sp Ibis (FOY) around 10:30 AM today, April 11, at one of the "Mile High Duck Club" ponds, reached by taking I-76 northeast from Denver to the Bromley Lane (exit #23), then east a couple of miles or so, left (north) on Gun Club road to a T intersection, then 1/4 mile west to small lakes on the north of the road. Parking is not good here. It's likely that these distant Ibis were White-faced Ibis, but Glossy Ibis have shown up in the Barr Lake area in April and early May and should be looked for when an Ibis is closer to the road than these! Details are in the Adams County section of Colorado County web site. There was a good assortment of ducks to enjoy on Barr Lake and a breeding plumage Common Loon seen from the northeast corner, looking due west. Joe Roller PS Thanks to Larry Semo for finding an Eastern Phoebe (FOY) near Barr Lake at the Old Stone House today, as that species is a good find in Adams County. A search a short time later was "no dice." **************Worried about job security? Check out the 5 safest jobs in a recession.
