Richard Stevens:
I returned to Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe County) around 3:00pm. Unfortunately most of the birds were in the center of the lake today; also light was poor. Many of yesterday's birds were still around. Identification of many of the gulls was left open. I did have a few highlights but could not relocate the Glaucous Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull or Long-tailed Duck.
The male Barrow's Goldeneye was just off shore from the first picnic area east of the parking area for the dam tower.
An adult Thayer's Gull was with many gulls off the handicapped fisherperson's dock.
Off the Bird Observation Platform at the Cottonwood Creek Loop were 5+ Bonaparte's Gulls among many Ring-billed, some California, and some Herring Gulls.
From the end of the Lake Loop I could see two Common Loons.
