Cooley Lake (Arapahoe) had an adult Glaucous Gull and 1st cycle Thayer's with a gull flock loafing on ice which has since melted.

During the snowy afternoon my Ken Caryl Valley feeding stations attracted a nice 3 Harris's Sparrows, and unexpected Lincoln's Sparrow, and Cassin's Finches.
In addition to the Yellow-billed Loon (seen in both Jefferson and Douglas), other birds of interest that I noted at Chatfield Reservoir this morning included 2 Common Loons, 1 Red-necked Grebe, 1 male Barrow's Goldeneye, 1 adult Thayer's Gull, 1 Lesser-black-backed Gull (both these were on the ice in the upper end of the Platte arm of the lake, not at the marina), 1 Peregrine Falcon, 1 Prairie Falcon, and 1 Northern Shrike.
I explored in the upper region of the Plum Creek Nature Area up toward Titan Road (Douglas) and found a Winter Wren in a flotsom thicket along the creek. A Merlin was also noted in this area
My Ken Caryl Valley yard had 2 continuing Harris's Sparrows, 2 Evening Grosbeaks flew over, and later 2 Red Crossbills (Type 2).
