A couple of hours ago I had a Sedge Wren along the roadside at nw corner of Union Res.
Turn from County Line Rd (Weld CR 1) onto road that goes along n side of Union Res.
Immediately you'll pass a house on the right. The road will then bend sharply left, then back right. There will be some cattails and other tall weeds on left, along road. On right, more extensive tall wet weedy (sedges???) stuff and catttails. I stopped here to pish (as I randomly do when circling Union). A couple Song and Lincoln's Sparrows popped up. I kept pishing, a Marsh Wren appeared and I heard the Sedge call. I played the song, and the bird came into open twice before disappearing. Another 20 minutes of scouring the roadside (area off road private) only managed to scatter birds. I went back later and hand nary a bird, but they are likely nearby as habitat is excellent, if also extensive.
Continuing along n side of Union, just past reservoir, you go up a bit of a rise and there are tall trees on both sides of road, house on right, structures on left. I pished here because I heard chickadees. Into a bush at side of road (some reddish leafed thing) dropped a half-dozen chickadess and a nice bright N Parula
Waterbirds on Union have diminished, not increased, since last visit with naught of interest. Osprey, Forster's Tern, and the BN Stilt seeming to have departed. No scoters or jaegers arrived.
Good Birding
