Cobirders, The previously reported two White-winged Scoters and the lone Surf Scoter were on Marston Lake this morning at 10 am.
I noted recent posts mentioning the lack of viewing opportunities at Marston Lake. There is a little known park at the south end of Marston Lake from which the majority of the south end of the lake can be viewed. There is not a sign at the park, but I think the name may be Isthmus Nature Park or something to that effect. Drive east on Grant Ranch Blvd from Wadsworth Blvd. Continue approximately 1.7 miles to Jay Circle. Proceed north on Jay approximately 0.3 miles and the park will be on your left. This small park does not have a parking lot. However, there are no signs prohibiting parking on Jay Circle or on S Ingalls Street to the north just past the park. Enter the park and head north on the walking trails towards the large, nicely covered, highly elevated gazebo (handicap accessible). Viewing from the gazebo affords good looks of the southern portion of the lake. The mostly inaccessible and fenced off Bowles Reservoir Number One located to the south of Marston can also be viewed in its entirety from the gazebo. This area makes one more appreciative of the use of Colorado Lottery funds!
