[cobirds] This Morning at Cherry Creek State Park

Greetings -

This morning Glenn Walbek and I spent about an hour and a half
scanning the lake, picking through all the waterbirds and gulls in the
hopes of finding a tasty rarity.

No megas, but a few nice birds were hanging out:
2 Snow Goose (one very pretty blue-phase)
1 White-winged Scoter
2 Barrow's Goldeneyes (males, there were probably some females out there also)
2 Long-tailed Ducks
1 probable adult Thayer's Gull
4 Lesser Black-backed Gulls (2 ad, 2 imm)
At least 30 Bonaparte's Gulls, possibly 50 or more

A nice morning to be out.

Good birding,
Kathy Mihm Dunning
