[cobirds] McClellen Reservoir 1-31

The Dunlin was still at the far east end of McClellen Reservoir early this morning. Initially it was not in view from the Highline Canal trail, but then it flew in from the Arapahoe County portion and landed along the inlet stream in Douglas Co., and its buddy the Killdeer soon followed and joined it there. A Harlan's Red-tailed Hawk was in the same area for a wile, and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet was near the Highline Canal access parking lot. Viewing McLellen earlier from County Line Road I saw a Gr. White-fronted Goose with an estimated 4100 Cackling and 800 Canada Geese. 85% of the geese flew out from the reservoir at 7:43 am, and there were hardly any gulls there this morning. An American Pipit flying over the reservoir was interesting.
