Hello, Birders. I saw a cooperative first-cycle Lesser Black-backed Gull late yesterday morning, Thursday, Jan. 13th, standing on the ice at Waneka Lake (Greenlee Preserve), Boulder County.
Lots of gulls and geese have been using Waneka Lake during the past week or so. Tips for viewing: The geese arrive pre-dawn and all take off by mid-morning. If you want to see them (Ross's and Snow recently), get there around sunup. The gulls, meanwhile, arrive just after sunup (coming in from Valmont) then gradually drift off during the next 6 or 7 hours. The best viewing--the only decent viewing, really--is from the east side of the lake; you'll have the sun behind you, and you'll be quite close to the birds. ------------------------------- Ted Floyd Editor, Birding Blog: http://tinyurl.com/2g2staq Twitter: http://tinyurl.com/2ejzlzv Facebook: http://tinyurl.com/2wkvwxs ------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
