Cobirders, I went to the new wetlands area south of the park road between 6:00 and 7:15 this morning. The bad news: no least tern or white-rumped sandipiper. The good news is that this new area is progressing much faster than we could have expected. The meandering creek creates mudflats sorely missing in Cherry Creek since the Beaver Pond area became choked with cattails. It appears avocets are nesting there, and snowy egrets and white-faced ibis seem to be hanging around. Succeeding years should show improvement as the native grasses planted attract native insects.
