Hello, Near Fort Collins, along the Poudre Trail between Taft Hill Road and Overland Trail, one of the gravel ponds is in the process of being drained and has revealed quite a bit of the lake bed. Consequently, it is attracting some water birds. Today there were about 200 gulls highlighted by 1 Herring, 2 Franklin's, and 2 Bonaparte's Gulls. Several geese, Mallards, teal and even Crows were taking advantage of the freshly exposed resource. Two late or nearly late Greater Yellowlegs were foraging also. I'm not sure how long it will last but this spot might be good for late shorebirds or gulls in the week or two to come. It's located on the North side of the trail about midway (.5 mile) from Taft or Overland, unfortunately, the view is through a chain-link fence.
