Hi all,
On Saturday, 3/8, I drove around the neighborhood and found the following : I saw 1, second year Glaucous Gull at Marston Reservoir from S. Wadsworth Blvd, seen from the Denver Water board's metal fence, on the west side of Marston. California, Herring Gulls, and Ring-billed Gulls were all around the lake, along with Green-winged Teal, Gadwall, Hooded and Common Mergansers, Goldeneye, and Bufflehead. After Sunday's heat wave the ice will most likely be gone. If Denver Water keeps draining the water from Marston there may only be mud. The above area is Denver county.
Also in Denver County 3/8, at Fort Logan Cemetery in the far eastern pond were 2, m. Greater Scaup, with lot's of Northern Shovelers, Bufflehead, and courting Goldeneye.
In Jefferson County at Lake Henry, on 3/8, were many Northern Shovelers with 1,m Greater Scaup , and 3,m. Lesser Scaup. Lake Henry is on the north side of W. Quincy just about 2 blocks west of S. Wadsworth.
Sorry for the late note, but after hearing about Lesser Goldfinch being seen near Denver this winter, I have seen and heard Lesser Goldfinch for about the last 4 weeks in the housing area of 'The Greens at Pinehurst' [a private area], which is in Denver County near W. Quincy and S. Wadsworth.
All in all, Cackling and Canada Geese have departed in fairly large numbers from where I live,[ near Marston Reservoir].
Happy Birding !!
