Stretching my legs at Barr Lake back in Denver (Adams County) I found no shorebirds below the Niedrach Boardwalk. An Eastern Phoebe hawked bugs around the Visitor's Center footbridge (see Colorado Birding Society's website photo library).
Later a flock of fifteen Baird's Sandpipers, two Least Sandpipers, two Killdeer and the American Golden-Plover were found at the boat ramp sand spit (mile 7.6).
I picked up Rebecca and we passed through Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe) on our way to dinner. At Pelican Point, we photographed a Semipalmated Plover and counted 34 American Avocets. A Sabine's Gull was with a dozen Ring-billed Gulls off the Bird Platform. A Turkey Vulture flew over the west shades picnic area.
Best bird was a Winter Wren at the Bird Platform area. After trying to relocate it for 15 minutes, it allowed us to watch it for 5 minutes!
