Richard Stevens:
After the snowstorm, I had to get out of the house for a few hours. Aurora received about 4.5 inches of snow last night; warm temperatures the last few days melted most of the snow on the roads.
I met Bill Cryder and we walked down to the south side of Aurora Reservoir (Arapahoe County). A group of 300 gulls hunkered down on the ice/snow covered lake (near mile 3.0). We picked out the Glaucous Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull and a Thayer's Gull.
An adult Bald Eagle flew over the flock several times, scattering the Gull. They tended to return to the same spot.
No Short-eared Owls were found when I drove the DIA Owl Loop (Adams) on the way home.
