COBirders, I just had a probable 1st cycle BLACK-HEADED GULL at Long Pond. The bird flew to the SW and looked like it overshot Linden Lake so could be in the Horsetooth Res. vicinity. This was a small bird with a light gray mantle, brown upperwing coverts, brown tertial centers, speckled black on the rear head and hindneck, reddish bill with a black tip and reddish legs. The one noticeable feature I did not see was the darker ear spot but the head was speckled black in this area and I was a good distance away. On my way to get a closer look the bird flew. I don't think it could have been any other gull, so folks in the Ft. Collins area should be on the lookout for it.
