Bob Andrews, Michael Kiessig, Rob Raker and I paid a visit to Barr
Lake this morning. The lake is low and not frozen, and there were
thousands of ducks, geese, gulls, and other waterfowl on the lake.
Highlights included:
watching and counting at least 60 Bald Eagles of various ages on the
shore, perched in trees, and soaring above the lake.
a 2nd winter Glaucous Gull (larger than the Herring gulls next to
it), seen from the Boat Launch area on the north end.
two adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls seen across the bridge from the
Visitor's Center and a little to the south.
in addition to Canada And Cackling Geese, we saw approx. 20 Snow
Geese and one Ross's Goose in a huge flock of White-faced Geese that
flew overhead.
The Barr Lake CBC should be terrific this year from what we saw in our
short visit.
