My son, Kyle, and I drove up to checkout the sand spit just east of the Chatfield SP marina early this morning (arriving at 6:15am). No Piping Plover was found after exhaustive scanning, although 6 White-rumped Sandpipers were still there, presenting good looks both on the ground and flying a loop around for us. A single Laughing Gull was also present when we first arrived, along with a few others, but it left shortly after. Rick Olson and Bob Brown joined us later, lending more eyes to the confirmation that the plover was not there. We didn't have time to check the rest of the reservoir shores, but maybe it's still around somewhere. Rick also spotted a couple Black Terns out over the water, of which we all got decent views.
