COBirders, Late this evening a buddy of mine and I stopped by Big Johnson reservoir to check out the gulls. Brad Steger had seen a couple of thousand gulls there last night so I thought it might be worth checking them out as he was not able to in his short time there.
Unfortunately, we arrived a little later than planned so did not have as much time with good light to really work the birds on the reservoir. Nonetheless, we were still able to find the following: 6 Loons (3 were Common and the other 3 also appeared to be but conditions prevented positive IDs) 2000+ Ring-billed Gulls California Gulls Herring Gulls 1 Franklin's Gull 1 MEW GULL (adult) 1 possible GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULL (2nd yr bird, again, conditions prevented positive ID) ----- Mark Peterson Colorado Springs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Colorado Field Ornithologists: http://www.cfo-link.org/ Colorado County Birding: http://www.coloradocountybirding.com/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
