Richard Stevens:
I was busy doing chores today, however did past through Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe County). I stopped at the bird platform at the Prairie Loop for 20 minutes.
Gulls on the mudflats were mostly Ring-billed Gulls, a dozen California Gulls and 3 or 4 Herring Gulls.
The two Long-billed Dowitchers were joined by 6 additional birds.
The highlight was a pair of Greater Scaup in a raft of American Coots and 4 Redheads.
I stood at the prairie dog town at 3.4 miles east of Tower Road & 96th avenue (Adams), mainly to watch the fabulous sunset. Colorado does get some superb sunsets in the winter.
No Short-eared Owls flew about at dusk.
