Hey, all. Earlier this hour, I saw a *Bonaparte gull* at Waneka Lake, Lafayette, Boulder Co. It was a first for me at the Greenlee/Waneka/Hecla complex—and the 260th species I've seen there since Apr. 2006. Also:
* a beautiful orange sulphur, *Colias eurytheme*, flitting about in the late afternoon sun * 30+ *American bushtits* * a female *wood duck* As Joaquin Andujar famously said, "There is one word in America that says it all, and that one word is 'You never know.'" Ted Floyd Lafayette, Boulder Co. P. s. The gull didn't stay for long. It flew to the southwest, perhaps to roost at nearby Hecla Pond, Boulder Co., perhaps to visit with John Rawinski at Smith Reservoir, Costilla Co. You never know. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
