Re: [cobirds] Sabine's Gull and more at Chatfield State park (Douglas County)

I took my 3 yr old daughter out to the marina spit about 4:15pm. She spotted every pelican and non-Sabines gull out there. I picked out a common tern but no Sabines. The wind was also howling. A bit after 5 we stopped by the swim beach and some happy birders from St Louis just had a Sabines fly by. I looked for a bit longer from a few spots up to the boat ramp by the dam and never saw the elusive Sabines. The point is a Sabines was around late today at chatfield and, on the bright side, I was able to bird with the kiddo, almost fuss free, for a while (sand and rocks and water help immensely!). 

Good birding,

There was a Sabines gull present north of the marina sand spit this morning.  However it an immature,  not the adult bird shown in Tom's photo.
Also present this morning on the sand spit itself were a Forster's tern, cattle egret and a red phalarope.
