Hi Cobirders, This morning there was a picture-perfect pair of Barrow's Goldeneyes among the Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead, Shovellers, Mallard, and many Canada Geese on the lake at Gateway Pk. No promises that any of the birds except the last three, and several decoy Wood Ducks, will be there beyond today. Neighbors tell us that the best time to see the most birds is about 9 AM. They also report that eagles are often seen nabbing ducks later in the day. The west side of Gateway community surrounding the lake has offered good views of the birds. From Chambers, go east on at 46th Ave., and drive along the street that parallels the lake to any public parking area, all deceptively small, and walk to the lake. While you are in the area, consider visiting Idalia Park and lake, about 5 minutes north. It sometimes has a good collection of ducks and geese. Off Chambers, turn right on 53rd Ave. and go east to the first left turn. This is the entrance to the rec center parking lot and the lake. Frank and Nancy Hatch Denver
