Cherry Creek Reservoir on Thursday

December 7, 2017

Richard Stevens:

Wow, it felt cold today (Thursday).  Perhaps it is that one day is warm and the next cold.  Temperatures reached only 37 degrees with winds 3-4 mph at Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe).

Rebecca and I scoped the Lake from the Lake Loop.  A Common Loon was in the eastern quadrant.  An Iceland Gull was with 50+ Ring-billed, 7 California and 1 Herring Gull at Pelican Point.

The highlight was a Common Redpoll loosely following four American Goldfinches at the 12-mile picnic area windbreak!

No Short-eared Owls appeared this evening along the DIA Owl Loop (Adams).
