[cobirds] Longmont lakes (Boulder County)

Sparrows did eventually accumulate at Golden Ponds in Longmont.  Late this afternoon, I counted 75 Chipping Sparrows and 9 Savannah Sparrows, along with other usual suspects, in the short stretch I walked.  Otherwise, as Steve M. indicated, it seemed like business as usual there.

McIntosh Lake in Longmont, particularly the east end, attracted a nice collection of shorebirds, including:
DUNLIN (2)
Marbled Godwit (23)
Willet (19)
Semipalmated Plover
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Western Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
Spotted Sandpiper
American Avocet
Greater Yellowlegs

Similar to Ted Floyd's experience at Boulder Reservoir, I had the pleasure of encountering large shorebirds named Vanderpoel, Kaempfer, and Deininger.
