-- Checked some area at Chatfield SP. Had 4 Eastern Bluebirds with the other two bluebird species near the end of the road to Plum Creek Nature Area. I looked for Eastern Phoebe at Plum Creek near the Picnic Area, but it was not in evidence. Not too many waterbirds were on the lake, with most common being Western Grebe. An Osprey was flying around. A 1st Cycle Thayer's Gull was viewed from the North Boat Launch. A Great-tailed Grackle was near C470 x Wadsworth.
Marston Reservoir continued to have good numbers of ducks and good variety, but less than a week ago. Two Franklin's Gulls and a Greater Yellowlegs were my first this season. A Great-tailed Grackle and two Mountain Bluebirds were along the west shore. Belmar Park had nothing out of the ordinary...but why are so many Northern Shovelers attracted to that park?

Encountered 8 Say's Phoebes in JeffCo today, showing the seasonal influx. Checked several lakes from Hine Lake north to Main Reservoir, without too much of note. Hine Lake still has a nice group of Greater Scaup (15), and the numbers of Lessers are becoming greater. A Virginia Rail called from the cattails at Harriman Lake, which had a nice variety of waterfowl. An Osprey was over Main Reservoir. A Marsh Wren was at East Reservoir, with a pair of Bushtits building a nest in a yard near that reservoir. The Lincoln's Sparrow reappeared in my yard at Ken Caryl Valley.
