In comparing photos from the John Martin Reservoir (JMR) female Magnificent Frigatebird and the female today at Cherry Creek Reservoir (CCR) I believe the these are TWO DIFFERENT birds.  Below are the checklists from JMR and CCR.  Note the length of the left and right outer tail feathers on the JMR bird (different lengths...I seriously doubt the shorter feather grew THAT much in three days).  Also note the patterning of the center of the dark bib as it extends down into the white of the upper breast (JMR bird has a large "blob" extending down, the CCR bird does not).  The JMR bird also has some black feathering inside the white (on the sides of the chest).  Just some interesting differences.

Wow!  Hurricanes did not seem THAT strong (and close to the western part of the Gulf of Mexico).

Cobirders,

 

The bird was last observed flying south, for what that is worth.  The newer Rueter-Hess Reservoir is ~12 miles straight due south of Cherry Creek reservoir if anybody down around Parker has a chance to check that location.  I suggest Aurora Reservoir at ~6 miles SE as the Frigatebird flies would definitely be in play as well.

 

Good Birding,

Mary and myself were seeing it from Prairie Loop and it was circling the reservoir.  I did  not see it dive and have not seen it again in the past 10 minutes.

Mary, 

 

In what area of Cherry Creek was the bird?  Was it circling the reservoir or did it seem to be moving in a particular direction?
