Richard Stevens:
No uncommon birds to report today. Temperatures were warmer than yesterday and winds mild.
Rebecca Kosten and I stopped by Rocky Mountain Arsenal (Adams County) while out doing chores. Three American Tree Sparrows and Dark-eyed Juncos were the only non-Red-winged Blackbirds to visit the Contact Station feeders.
On the way to dinner, we stopped at the bird observation platform at Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe). A few California Gulls were mixed in with 231 Ring-billed Gulls. The only shorebirds on the mudflats were Killdeer.
The lake was like a mirror with the lack of wind. Unfortunately, no scoters, loons or swans were among the many Western Grebes. At least one Eared Grebe and Pied-billed Grebe were also observed.
The colorful sunset and full moon were the highlights of the trip.
