Hi Everyone-- Today 9/26 I went over to Boulder Reservoir to look for terns. I saw none. There were still two Sabine's Gulls near the dam. A Chestnut-collared Longspur called on its way over the reservoir, and an American Pipit was heard nearby. There were 17 Ruddy Ducks in the middle of the reservoir.
I then wandered over to Walden Ponds. At the east end of the boardwalk at Cottonwood Marsh, an American Bittern was doing his best to look like a reed, but as he was standing in an area with no reeds, he didn't hide very well. I also saw a Virginia Rail, a Wilson's Snipe, and a Marsh Wren there. (How often do you get to look straight down on a Marsh Wren?) A fair number of American Wigeon have found the pond already.
