[cobirds] Sunday's Sedgwick Sightings

We returned to Jumbo Reservoir on Sunday to find it at the lowest level we have seen.  Islands are actually starting to appear in it.  One such island held a single Common Tern and a Forster's Tern.  Two Sanderlings were present, one in Logan and the other in Sedgwick County.
A single light phase Parasitic Jaeger had little trouble in the 30MPH wind that threatened to topple us and our scopes.  It soon joined the 50+ gulls soaring at least a half mile above the lake.
 
Later, on a private farm south of Julesburg, we were able to repeatedly flush two Sprague's Pipits.
