I headed out to the Cottonwood Creek wetland/duck pond area at Cherry Creek yesterday to get some bird photography in. Upon arriving, there were a number of cars stopped or slowed, and it turned out there was a group of 7 Ibis (I was told White Faced by another bird watcher) right up along the shore near the road. About five minutes later, a LARGE flock of at least 30 flew over head towards the reservoir. About two minutes after that, and even larger flock of maybe 50 flew up from the other side of the Cottonwood Creek pond, and headed in the same direction. Maybe 20 minutes later, another very large flock of maybe 40-50 flew towards the same place on the reservoir, making the total at least 100. I managed to get a few photos of a few from that first small group that I have yet to process, but which should find their way online soon.
