Re: [cobirds] American Golden Plover - Ish Reservoir - Larimer County
Correction. I’m told this is a bright juvenile black bellied plover. My education continues.

[cobirds] Re: Lagerman Res/Longmont/Long-billed Curlew (Whimbrel?)
Re-evaluating this sighting/report. Higher probability it is a Whimbrel. Sorry.

[cobirds] Lagerman Res/Longmont/Boulder CO: Marbled Godwit, Black Tern, Phalarope, more
Just returned (2:30 Saturday) from Lagerman Reservoir in Longmont. Some unexpected sightings on the southern shoreline including five Marbled Godwit, seventeen Wilson's Phalarope, two Northern Pintail, and an adult non-breeding Black Tern. The Tern was perched on an exposed stump just off the southern shore for at least 45 minutes. It took to the air briefly, along with many other birds/ducks, when a Bald Eagle flew over. If anyone is headed there yet today, set up your scope at the locked gate just past the picnic pavilion. Search due south directly across the lake near the shoreline and look for an exposed stump in the water. That was its perch. All of the other interesting visitors mentioned above were also in that general vicinity. Also lots of ducks including Blue Wing/Green Wing/Cinnamon Teal, Gadwall, Northern Shoveler, etc. . Also worthy of note are the Avocet. On each visit in recent weeks I've counted 19 - 21 including some on nests (counted three nesting today). Yesterday there were three new hatch-lings being carefully guarded by the parents. Seven Eared Grebe were also present Two were performing their mating dance cross the water.

[cobirds] 80+ Phalarope, Black Tern, more - Lagerrman Res - Longmont
There are currently 80+ Wilson's Phalarope busily feeding on the surface at Lagerman Reservoir in Longmont - Boulder County. I'm guessing they are migrants forced down by today's weather. Other interesting visitors include 3 Black Tern (FOY for me), 5 Eared Grebe, 2 Spotted Sandpiper, various other peeps, Cinnamon and Green Wing Teal, 2 Say's Phoebe, and a few other routine visitors. Occasional rain showers but there is plenty of room under the picnic pavilion for setting up a scope.

[cobirds] Lagerman Reservoir, Longmont, Boulder Co, Help - Are these Ruddy Ducks?
Greetings I'm looking for assistance in confirming some ducks seen resting near the SE shore of Lagerman Res on Friday afternoon. I returned yesterday (Saturday) in hopes of getting better photos but they were gone. The stiff tail and distinctive head markings tell me they are female ruddy ducks but I could use some expert assistance to confirm. We are in there general range but I don't normally see them here in the Boulder/Longmont area. These two photos are the best I could do at the time. https://www.flickr.com/photos/143511079@N06/ Thanks in advance for the assistance!
