Thank you to everyone who braved the cold temps and helped with the daily and hourly bird counts. Today we tallied 71 species!!! We tied our Chatfield Big Sit! record that was set in 2006! Highlights today were: White-winged Scoter - 1 adult male! Peregrine Falcon - 1 Considering that Chatfield really has virtually no shoreline we had 5 shorebird species! Black-bellied Plover - 1 basic Long-billed Dowitcher - 22 Wilson's Snipe - 1 Greater Yellowlegs - 3 Killdeer - 1 We also watched an Osprey catch a fish right in front of us! Yes, we also had Sandhill Cranes, three flocks - the last flock of about 50 birds was at 7pm and we called it quits. Again, "Thank you" to each and every person that helped. Maybe next year it will be warmer! Joey Kellner Littleton, CO
