[cobirds] White Pelicans at Walden Ponds, Boulder (Boulder Co)

I tried to find the Ibis this afternoon at Walden/Sawmill ponds with no luck. But I had a nice surprise in a very large group of ~75 White Pelicans. They were moving back and forth among the different ponds so it was hard to get an exact count, so my estimate was around 75-80. I did not do a full walkaround as I was preoccupied with getting photos of the pelicans, so I'm guessing I missed some things. 

Birds noted include:  

American White Pelican (~75 to 80)

Red-Tailed Hawk

Canada Goose 

Gadwall  

American Wigeon 

Mallard 

Northern Shoveler  

Red-headed Duck  

Ring-necked Duck 

Bufflehead 

Great Blue Heron (fishing and on rookery)

Osprey

Killdeer 

Lesser Yellowlegs 

Mourning Dove 

American Crow 

Tree Swallow 

Barn Swallow

American Robin 

European Starling

Red-winged Blackbird 

Yellow-Headed Blackbird

Common Grackle
