[cobirds] Boyd Lake SP, Loveland (Larimer Co.); Feb. 26

Hi,

I paid my first visit to Boyd Lake SP this afternoon.  There weren't many songbirds but I did find a first winter Harris' Sparrow in a flock of House Sparrows and a first winter White-crowned Sparrow.  The flock with the Harris' was located a little northwest of the marina.  From the contact station, drive 0.1 to the intersection, then turn left (north) and drive 0.5 mile.  The road bends 90 degrees to the right here at the power lines.  The bike path crosses the road here, too.  Park in the nearby lot.  The birds were near the barbed wire fence on the little rise.

The lake is half frozen.  Waterfowl included hundreds of Can. and Cack. Geese, and a flock of over 400 Redhead was on the northwest side of the lake.  A decent variety of raptors were present as well.
