Here are the highlights that Nick Komar and I saw/heard in Broomfield, Boulder, and Weld Counties today (2/15). Broomfield County: Indian Peaks Pkwy Pond GLAUCOUS GULL - 1 adult Lesser Black-backed Gull - 1 1st cycle Thayer's Gull - 3, 2 adults and 1 1st cycle
Glasser Reservoir (just north of the Holy Family High School) ICELAND GULL - 1 2nd cycle (appeared to be the same bird that Mark Peterson photographed at the Indian Peaks Pkwy Pond on Saturday). This bird flew north just as I got to the reservoir. Thayer's Gull - 1 adult Herring Gull x Glaucous-winged Gull Hybrid - 1 2nd cycle Snow Goose - 1 Red-breasted Merganser - 1 Boulder County: Valmont Reservoir (scenic overlook in the south side of the reservoir) Thayer's Gull - 2, 1 adult and 1 1st winter COMMON REDPOLL - 1, we heard a bird call that gave a 'chit-chit-chit' call, which sounded like other Common Redpolls that we have seen in Colorado. We were not able to see it though. Clark's Grebe - 1 Horned Grebe - 2 Weld County: Erie Landfill A couple thousand gulls. We could not find anything rare, but they were so far away that we could have missed something. Luna Reservoir There were lots of ducks on the south side of the reservoir. We were there in the middle of the day which made for bad lighting. Cole Wild Loveland, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds".
