Hi Everyone-- I drove around Boulder and Broomfield today 1/29 to check in on continuing birds. Gulls along Lowell Blvd were few, with no rarities. At the North Teller Farm trailhead off Valmont Rd, the Golden-crowned Sparrow was still present in the windbreak at the south end of the parking lot. At Valmont Reservoir, there is zero ice (let's hope this changes before the gullapalooza!), but the Trumpeter Swan was still present on the northwest pond (it's a very distant view from the overlook, but I could see that this was quite a long-bodied and long-necked swan), and a male Red-breasted Merganser was with the crowd of coots on the east pond (the closer pond). McIntosh Lake in Longmont had lots of ice, lots of wind, and lots of gulls, but no rarities.
