Having good information such as this on playa type areas could be really helpful for the first wave of migrating shorebirds in July. I saw standing water here and there during my drive home yesterday through Morgan and Weld Counties. Meanwhile, the water in Jackson Reservoir (Morgan Co.) was even higher than last time I checked it, and I didn't see any shorebird habitat yet on the lake itself.
The area south of Lower Latham Reservoir down to Beebe Draw (Weld County) does still have water. South of Road 48, a pair of Marbled Godwits and some Wilson's Phalaropes were the migrants that had joined the resident American Avocets and Black-necked Stilts.
