Folks, I arrived at the Prairie Loop this morning around 9:45. The Ross's Gull was close to shore, straight out from the bird observation area. Close to shore is relative, since there is now a 50 ft. wide ice shelf on the south side. I watched the bird for a couple of minutes as it circled low and flew east along the shoreline. I stayed on the south shore for the next 3 hours, along with several other birders. The Ross's Gull was not seen. I spoke to Jim Beatty who stayed at Cherry Creek until dark, and as far as we know the bird had not been re-found.
