Rocky Mountain Arsenal

November 13, 2019

Richard Stevens:

My brother drove up from Arizona and I took him to see the Bison and deer at Rocky Mountain Arsenal (Adams County).  The day was cooler than yesterday with a high of 54 degrees; still it was a nice fall day.

The low number of birds at the Arsenal is not surprising anymore.  We did see two adult and two juvenile Bald Eagles.

The highlight was the continuing Lesser Black-backed Gull at Lake Ladora.  Most of Colorado's common ducks swan on Lower Derby Lake.  Two Long-billed Dowitchers walked along the shore at the island in the middle of the Lake.
