High temperature was 49 degrees. Winds of 14-15 mph made it felt quite cold.
I drove to Douglas County to see if any Eastern Phoebes have arrived along the Cherry Creek trail south of the Walker Gravel Pit. One Eastern Phoebe was found hawking bugs 3 feet from the Creek at about 20 yards south of the Highway 86 bridge.
I walked north to the gravel pit and back and found few additional birds.
A stop at Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe) on my way home was quite interesting. An adult Lesser Black-backed Gull and the possible Glaucous-winged Gull stood at the end of Pelican Point.
A lone sparrow walked out of the willows just south of the Cherry Creek inlet. It turned out to be a Swamp Sparrow.
A walk around Augie's Pond and the streams entering the pond did not find any Rusty Blackbirds.
