[cobirds] south metro gulls, 12/20 - 12/21

Yesterday, I photographed a 1st cycle Glaucous Gull at Cherry Creek Reservoir.  Also, there were 6 Lesser Black-backed Gulls, several Thayer's Gulls and 38 Bald Eagles!  Cherry Creek was 90% frozen yesterday.  Today at Chatfield, I saw a 1st cycle and adult Kumlien's Iceland Gull and an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull.  I believe this is the first time Iceland Gulls have visited Chatfield.  Yesterday there was an adult Mew Gull at Chatfield but I did not see it today.  Chatfield Reservoir is about 25% frozen.
