In my post about the GBB Gull at Lake Loveland, it was pointed out to me that I erroneously put it in Weld County. It is, and always has been, in Larimer. Only birds of note at Windsor Lake today were California Gull (at least 1) and Red-breasted Merg (1m). Dave Leatherman Fort Collins

Janeal Thompson and I had an adult Great Black-backed Gull at Lake Loveland (Weld) late yesterday (2/26) afternoon. It was seen from the drawn down swim beach area in the nw corner feeding in a frenzy (presumably on shad schools near the south shore). This huge, dark gull dwarfed all others
