Cherry Creek Reservoir

October 26, 2019

Richard Stevens:

High temperature in Walden today was 28 degrees.  Winds were 5-6 mph, mild for this area.

I went out two hours before sunrise and listened for Boreal Owls.  None called this morning.

No Rosy Finches visited the Colorado State Forest Visitor's Center this morning.  We heard the American Three-toed Woodpecker drumming north of hwy 14 however never saw it.

Reports of severe approaching snowstorms changed our plans and we returned to Denver.

We detoured through Cherry Creek State Park (Arapahoe) to search for the birds reported yesterday by Ben Sampson (Red-necked Grebe, Sabine's Gull, Jaeger).  

Unfortunately, none was found.  We did see two Bonaparte's Gulls and one of the previously reported Black Scoters.
