All, The last two days my family (partly) decided to go down to the Lamar area. On the way we stopped at Nee Noshee Reservoir. Here is what we saw: 800 Snow Geese 2 Ross' Geese 800+ Sandhill Cranes 15-20 Brewer's Blackbirds 1 American Avocet 3-5 Pelicans After our migratory luck in the plains we drove farther south to Lamar where we wen't to Willow Creek Park to look for the Cardinal earlier reported by Dave Leatherman. Here is what we saw: 1 Brown Creeper 1 Rough-legged Hawk 3 White-crowned Sparrows 2 Kestrels After a walk throughout the thick of it we found a car oddly parked in front of our car we asked them what they where looking at and right then a flaming male Cardinal dancing on top or our car. We started off early the next morning west for any good birds. We stopped at places like John Martin Reservoir where we found a pair of Hooded Mergansers. We also hit Ft. Lyons SWA where we found: 3 Wood Ducks 8-10 Double-crested Cormorants 10-15 Virginia Rails After a good day we went to Meredith Reservoir not expecting to find anything at all. But we did: 4 Herring Gulls 6-8 Ring-billed Gulls 34-40 Pelicans 4 Double Created Cormorants 1 Glaucous Gull 1st winter we did get pictures also Good luck birding Skyler Bol Ft. Collins CO
