Hello all,
I spent a couple of hours today at very birdy Dowdy Draw and located a nesting
pair of blue-gray gnatcatchers toward the end of the southbound trail, at the
foot of the switchback. Lazuli buntings and yellow-breasted chats were
vocalizing in droves.
Other highlights include:

I just got a call from Larry Modesitt who has arrived at the Marina sandspit
at Chatfield
and sees no birders, no gull. Many of us saw it half way between the parking
lot
and the tip of the sandspit, picking at a dead carp, around 1:00 PM and
after. Peter Gent told me that it was there when he left
Larry Modesitt and Bob Brown are looking at the gull NOW. It moved
from halfway out the Marina sandspit to its tip. Good luck.
If it moves from there, please let
me know at 303 204-0828 and I will post an update.
If you are going, please take a 2 way radio, to facilitate communication

This area is between Colorado Ave and Arapahoe Ave.
The bird was foraging in dense bushes and cottonwood on Skunk Creek
immediately east of the SyBase building wh

The Black-throated gray warbler posted this morning by Rob is still
hanging out. He is currently in some Russian olives along a small
pond about 100 yards west of the little bridge and just north of the
bike trail. I'm guessing according to Rob's post that he's only moved
about 100 yards we

Folks,
Doug Faulkner reports the Western Gull took off from the marina sandspit,
circled a few times and headed west. They lost track of it. If you are out
looking, search the other portions of Chatfield Reservoir and also nearby
reservoirs. I will post any updates I receive.

The reported Western Gull was comfortably dozing at the north end of the
swim beach this evening. Then it began preening, stood up and eventually
took wing. It flew to the eastern side of the reservoir at approximately
7:35 pm and was last seen rounding the point near the handicap
After watching the Western Gull fly east from the North entrance swim
beach at 7:30 I headed back to the marina and confirmed that the gull
had settled back on that side of the lake. At the moment it is on the
east side directly north from the east edge of the car parking lot for
the boat launch.
