[cobirds] Ridgway State Park, Ouray County Migrants

Ridgway State Park has seen some good migrants so far this week.
On Tuesday, two Western and a Semipalmated Sandpiper were present:

Yesterday an adult Sabine's Gull showed up:

So this morning I went to Ridgway State Park hoping for more new migrants. The adult Sabine's Gull was still present, along with a single Western Sandpiper.  I contacted Kent Nelson from Ouray, who needed the gull for his 230+ county list.  When Kent arrived, we introduced ourselves, I pointed out the gull, and he quickly reciprocated by pointing out two Black Terns flying over the lake.  Thanks Kent.

Here are a couple of eBird lists from this morning.

Not a lot of birds, but some "good ones".  It's been a very good birding week for me.
