Windy Afternoon at Cherry Creek Reservoir

October 20, 2019

Richard Stevens:

I have a friend and relative staying at a rehab Hospital near Cherry Creek Reservoir and swing by the Lake when in that area.

Winds were 30 to 32 mph most of the afternoon.  High temperature was 51 degrees; it felt much cooler than that.

The Semipalmated Plover was still at Pelican Point.  Also around were a Solitary Sandpiper, two Western Sandpipers, a Lesser Yellowlegs and a few Killdeer.

I briefly looked over the Lake with my binoculars however did not take the time to break out my scope.  Keeping the scope steady in the wind would have been difficult.
