Temperatures reached the middle 40s today. Winds were much better than yesterday. Afternoon winds were 4-5 mph with gusts only to 12 mph.
After visiting friends in Aurora, I drove a few miles over to Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe County). A brief walk around the swim pond and streams flowing into it did not find any Rusty Blackbirds.
I passed Aurora Reservoir (Arapahoe) on the way home and scoped the Lake from the Lower Swim Beach parking area.
The Long-tailed Duck was 40 yards off shore and directly east of the Pavilion.
Hundreds of gulls stood on the ice. No black-backed, large white or pink-legged gulls were among the hundreds of Ring-billed Gulls. Few White-cheeked Geese were out there today.
I scanned the DIA Owl Loop from 88th avenue in the late afternoon. No Short-eared Owls appeared this evening.
