[cobirds] Royal Tern, Barr Lake SP, Adams Cty 7/31

Good morning.
 
Sorry for this post a day late. Like Mark Miller, we did not see the tern early yesterday, although there were several birders looking. After almost two hours Jeanne and I took a break to have some food in the picnic area by the visitor center.
 
A little after 10:30 we finally were able to see the bird on a buoy through our scope. Other birders in the same area also saw the bird.
 
There was a lot of activity in the trees along the "shoreline". We saw orioles, Western Wood-Pewee, Yellow warbler, Eastern Kingbird, an assortment of starlings, grackles, RRBBs, cowbird, and Blue jays.
 
Then it got hot and we repaired to Colorado Springs.
 
Good birding, everyone.
