First thing this morning I stopped by Marston Reservoir (Denver County). I saw
the basic plumaged Red-throated Loon and 4 Common Loons (1 alternate and 3
basic). There was also a gull out there that was very small compared to
Ring-billed Gulls. It was to dark to get any details on it when I saw it. My
impression on its size made me think there was a chance it could have been a
Little Gull, but it also could have been a Bonaparte's Gull. It would be great
if others could refind this bird to get a positive identification on it. I
could never refind it when it got light enough to see details on all the birds.
Then Jessi Oberbeck and I headed out to Bonny Reservoir (Yuma County). We could
not refind the interesting warbler like bird that was reported from yesterday.
We saw and/or heard 1 Great Crested Flycatcher, 3 Yellow-billed Cuckoos, 1
Field Sparrow, 1 Indigo Bunting, 1 Bell's Vireo, 4 Red-bellied Woodpeckers,1
Orchard Oriole, and 5 Eastern Bluebirds. We also saw a bird that looked good
for a pure male Eastern Towhee, but we never heard it sing. It was on the north
side of the reservoir before reaching the state park just east of the area
where the marsh reaches the road.
