Julesburg Resevoir (aka Jumbo ) was swarming with black terns (60+) and holiday campers (perhaps drawn to the Sedgwick Harvest Festival ?) on Saturday.Water level was down leaving a good deal of shoreline exposed but, except for a few sanderlings, spotted and Baird's sandpipers and two American avocets, shorebirds were lacking. The red knot was not seen (but there is a lot of shoreline).Also seen were two common terns and three or four Forster's terns, a couple of California gulls and and a lesser black-backed gull.Mississippi kites continued at Sterling, where the quest for migrants is continuing.
