Birding Around Eastern Metro Area

March 9, 2019

Richard Stevens:

High temperature was 48 degrees today.  Winds were 9-10 mph with gusts to 18 mph.

Rebecca and I visited some of the locations of previously reported birds.

The three Rusty Blackbirds were again walking along First Creek just north of the 56th Avenue Bridge (Denver County).

The adult Lesser Black-backed Gull was again on the ice at Lake Ladora in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal (Adams).  The juvenile Lesser Black-backed Gull that I first photographed yesterday was also there.

We scoped Aurora Reservoir (Arapahoe).  One adult Lesser Black-backed Gull stood on the ice hundreds of yards east of the Lower Parking Area pavilion.  The Long-tailed Duck was not found (now three trips in a row).

The Rusty Blackbird at Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe) was along old Parker Road.  She walked along the western drainage about 25 feet south of drainage pipe.

No owls showed up along the shooting range entrance road.
