Steve just phoned me to report a first year GW GULL. It was on an ice shelf in an inlet on the southwest side of the reservoir. The site is favorably sheltered from the gale force winds. The site is as described by Glenn Walbek, who posted a map to Cobirds on 12/28. In other words, the gull is near where the Snowy Owl was seen on 12/28. EITHER go in the south entrance to the reservoir and walk 15-20 minutes north to where you can see the inlet OR buy a pass and scan the boat launch area near all the buildings inside the reservoir on the SW side. Harriers flushed the gulls, so they could be ANYPLACE on the Reservoir. He got borderline photos he told me.
You might be able to scope a lot of the lake from the southshore neighborhood. Good luck, Joe Roller, denver -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
