Cherry Creek Reservoir

August 13, 2018

Richard Stevens:

High temperature reached a warm 89 degrees this afternoon.  Winds were 8-9 mph with gusts to 20 mph.

I had banking business near Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe County) and drove through the park on the way home.

Pelican Point had the majority of birds.  Among dozens of American White Pelicans and Ring-billed Gulls, I found two Least Sandpipers, a Spotted Sandpiper and one Lesser Yellowlegs. Few birds flew around the lake.

Burrowing Owls continued along Gun Club Road, south of 112th avenue.  The other locations along the DIA Owl Loop had few birds.  No Short-eared Owls appeared this evening.
