Return to Aurora Reservoir

March 11, 2018

Richard Stevens:

High temperature was 48 degrees.  Winds of only 4-8 miles per hour helped keeping the wind chill factor down.

In the afternoon, Rebecca Kosten and I went to Aurora Reservoir (Arapahoe).  Most gulls were quite a distance from the swim beach pavilion #4.  After scoping the lake four times, one White-winged Scoter was found in the middle of the lake.  We were not able to relocate the two Red-necked Grebes reported two days ago.  The four Long-tailed Ducks appear to have moved on.

From our vantage point, perhaps 15 percent of the reservoir cannot be seen.
