Richard Stevens:
Temperatures reached the low 60s today; winds were 11-12 mph with gusts to 16 mph. It felt cold most of the afternoon.
I passed through Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe County) and found few passerines around. I do not believe it was a result of my "new" binoculars. Tinted for low light, 30 X 60, only $1 at the Dollar Store (left my binoculars at home); there just was not many landbirds around.
Hundreds of Gulls were on Pelican Point. Majority were Ring-billed with a few California Gulls and a couple of hybrids. Two Common Terns were among them. No shorebirds were found anywhere.
A walk from the East Shades Picnic area to the Dam and back found only a few Black-billed Magpies. A few additional gulls were at the bird platform, Prairie Loop. A Western Wood-pewee was at the southeast corner of the Lake Loop.
No birds on the poles surrounding the southwest marina, it just was a slow afternoon.
