Alas, no Glossy Ibis or fancy BW x GW Teal hybrid was to be found along 119th where they'd been stationed over this past weekend in Boulder County
However, the pond at the corner of CO-119 and Weld CR 7 had a flock of about 14 ibis with one Glossy in it today. An eagle went over and the ibis left, but may well return.
Yesterday, sorry for late new, but not that hot, there was a Pectoral Sandpiper at the n end of Loloff Reservoir. Plus tons of Ruddy Ducks, BN Stilts and Am Avocets.
On Friday, up in Park County, at 11-mile Reservoir, the abundance first noted by David S was still present. Among the 3000-4000 birds were 3 Barrow's Goldeneyes (2 males, 1 female), 2 Greater Scaup, 5 Common Loons ... and standing on the iceshelf, a Thayer's Gull and a LBB Gull (both first cycle). Make ice and they will come.
Spinney Reservoir was an ice cube. Antero is starting to melt around the edges, but had few birds within viewing range.
Good Birding
