[cobirds] Boulder waterthrush, & the one that got away


Hello, Birders.


Well, the consolation prize this morning, Thursday, Aug. 22nd, was a nice Northern Waterthrush, just a few minutes ago, bopping around on the sliver of shoreline along the north shore of Waneka Lake, immediately south of Greenlee Preserve, Boulder County.


Earlier in the morning, I was recording nocturnal flight calls (practically nothing on the move), then turned off the recorder, then, about 15 seconds later twice heard what I'm nearly certain was the flight call of an American Golden-Plover. The bird was heading southeast, so if anybody finds a lost golden-plover later today at Cherry Creek or somewhere, please notify its owner.
