[cobirds] City Park, Cherry Creek, Chatfield 11/3

Hi Everyone—

 

Today 11/3, I went to City Park, Cherry Creek, and Chatfield. At City Park, the Black Scoter was asleep until close to 10, but did finally wake up and do some diving. I also saw two Greater Scaup and a Cackling Goose there. At Cherry Creek, I saw Common Loon from the little overlook at the south end. I saw Pacific Loon from the Lake Loop. From the back of the yacht club, I picked out an adult Thayer’s Gull on the more southerly logs, and a juv Mew Gull (a very brown one) on the more northerly logs. At Chatfield, I saw a close Surf Scoter from the swim beach, and Common Loon from the north boat ramp and the heron overlook.
