Participants of today's monthly birdwalk at Chatfield found a Marbled Godwit resting on the sandbar at the Plum Creek delta. Not a lot of time between when Spring migration ends for some species and Fall migration starts for others. Also on the same sandbar was a migrant adult Franklin's Gull.
Cassin's Sparrows (2) still singing along the Plum Creek Nature Area road. Birds were not as vocal today, but I think that has more to do with the time of day. I think best is first light to just after sunrise. We did not see the Western Gull at any of its usual haunts. May have been moving around and therefore not found. A singing Sage Thrasher was found across the road from the Platte River parking lot, located on the east side of the Platte River near the restroom. Lastly, a male Lark Bunting (possible fall migrant?) was seen at the top of the dam.
