[cobirds] Crom Lake (Weld) on 6/18/26

FYI, the water level at Crom Lake west of Pierce in Weld County has risen in recent days and formerly exposed shore, especially along the north side, is gone.  So is the Hudsonian Godwit, as far as I could tell this morning at 7:30AM.  Two avocets, one Black-necked Stilts and about 10 Wilson’s Phalaropes, all of which probably tried to breed at Crom, remain.  Of course, still lots of Killdeer, most of them up on the dirt of CR31.  The local breeder Spotted Sandpipers might have been lurking in the submerged vegetation around the edge.
