While out doing chores we drove through Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe County). Few birds were flying around. We saw 2 Bald Eagles standing on the ice. The only gulls found were Ring-billed & Herring Gulls.
There was only a small open area of water in the ice covered lake. Many Common Mergansers, a few Common Goldeneyes, and White-cheeked Geese swam around.
We did count 2 dark morph Red-tailed Hawks, 3 western Red-tailed Hawks, a female Northern Harrier, and 2 American Kestrels.
Our birding day ended with a drive around the DIA Owl Loop. No Short-eared Owls made an appearance this evening. Horned Lark count was way down from previous visits.
