Hey, all.
-- I squeezed in a quick visit earlier today, Thurs., Sept. 30, to Boulder Reservoir, Boulder County.
There were very few birds on the shore at the north access off 55th Street, but one of them was a sanderling. Perhaps an escapee from Joey Kellner's big flock at Chatfield.
Also two Sabine's gulls--a juvenile for sure, and I believe an adult--whipping around the south shore. (But ID'able even from the north shore. Those wings...)
Lots of gullery and grebery out in the middle, but hard to make things out as there was considerable distortion on and just above the water's surface. Didn't see anything obviously tern-y or jaeger-y, but who knows. Had a quite distant Calidris, too--not a Sanderling.
American pipits and an Audubon warbler were going over, so there was a bit of VisMig today.
Nice morning to be out--cool, with a low cloud deck.
Here's the Sanderling, in all its low-light glory:
