After showing my 3 yr old her lifer Snowy Owl mid-day, we went to Cherry Creek SP (Arapahoe). From the swim beach, I finally lucked out with the gulls and had 7 species, incl. 2 Mew (one juv, and an adult), at least 1 Thayer's Gull, 14+ Bonaparte's, and 1 adult Lesser Black-backed Gull. I spent almost no time scanning the lake proper. Lots of gulls loafing on the ice on the west side south of the marina, but didn't have time to look through them.
-- A 4th year Bald Eagle perched by the playground the entire time we were there (about an hour) and never budged after several amusing attempts by crows and a raven to drive it off.
