Richard Stevens:
Rebecca and I passed through Cherry Creek Reservoir Friday while restocking supplies. Most memorable is how few birds we see there now days. The previous flocks of Horned Larks (usually at model airplane field), sparrows and robins at Campgrounds, gulls (well I believe they are at Aurora Reservoir closer to county dump), and hawks (few recently) are way down in numbers the last two years.
We only saw 2 Black-billed Magpies (used to be a flock of 3 or 4 dozen wintering on the south side). One Northern Flicker and one Great Horned Owl at Campgrounds. Some snow, but last week when we passed through there was little snow. Just few birds.
