[cobirds] Marston Reservoir, Denver

Hi all,
 
I did a quick look at Marston Reservoir today, only from the east side, from Bow Mar Dr., Littleton.
 
I saw 1, Lesser Black-backed Gull, 1, first cycle Thayer's Gull, many Herring Gulls, quite a few California Gulls, and many Ring-billed Gulls. On the east side of the lake there is a spit in the southern part of the reservoir where these Gulls were.
 
I counted 5 Eared Grebes, 1, Horned grebe, all three Merganser species, Common Goldeneye, 12 Greater Scaup  [I did not see any Lesser], and around 42 Gadwall, 28 American Widgeon, and 5, Green-winged Teal. Remember the above were only seen from the eastern side of the lake.
 
Right now bird variety seems to be changing over at Marston every or every other day.
 
Happy Birding!
