In preparation for a field trip on Nov 13, I am beginning to visit the dozens of lakes in southeastern Larimer County, to determine which lakes are “hot” and which are not. Today I visited Warren Lake in Fort Collins, Timnath Reservoir in Timnath and Cobb Lake in Wellington. Comments and highlights follow:
Warren Lake – surrounded by neighborhood in southeast Fort Collins, drained for maintenance but still some water. Mudflats hosted 6 Least Sandpipers (rare at this location). Montane wanderers Mountain Chickadee and Golden-crowned Kinglet (rare) were noisily calling from ornamental spruces on west side of the lake. Timnath Reservoir – water level very low; Close to a thousand birds, with: Lesser Black-backed Gull – 5 adults ! Black-bellied Plover – 1 Pectoral Sandpiper - 2 Cobb Lake (at dusk)– Also a thousand birds, mostly roosting Ring-billed Gulls in the center of the lake, but also: Sabine’s Gull – 1 juv Common Loon – 2 Nick Komar Fort Collins CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
