[cobirds] eastern Boulder County, the past few days

Hey, all. No earth-shattering rarities to report, but here are some odds and ends from around eastern Boulder County this past week:

Valmont Reservoir, Fri., Nov. 10. 2 common loons.

McIntosh Lake, Sat., Nov. 11. 6 Bonaparte gulls, 1 marsh wren, 1 myrtle warbler.

Boulder Creek @ 95th St., Sat., Nov. 11. 2 snow geese.

Waneka Lake, Wed., Nov. 15. 1 swamp sparrow.

Panama Reservoir, Sat., Nov. 18. 1 Pacific loon; American white pelicans and eared grebes still hanging on. Also, several "sports" "men" killing geese; they would shoot from their blind at the birds sitting in the water, then send their dog after the dying birds. Cheap thrills, I guess.

Waneka Lake & environs, Sat., Nov. 18. 1 snow x Canada goose, Wilson snipe and killdeer continuing, 1 prairie falcon, 5 red crossbills that definitely weren't Type 2 and probably weren't Type 5 either. So something interesting!
