Paid a visit to Marston Reservoir in Denver County this morning to
scout for Saturday's Spring Count. The reservoir is full with no
shoreline or shallow areas to speak of - had one Western Sandpiper
among the many Spotted Sandpipers and Killdeer. However, the rocky
and grassy areas around the lake produced good numbers of birds
including Rock Wrens, American Pipits, Chipping Sparrows, Vesper
Sparrows, Lark Sparrows, and Savannah Sparrows. The rookery was a
busy place with Black-crowned Night Herons and DC Cormorants sitting
on nests, while some of the Great Blue Herons were still in the
process of building nests.
