This morning, there was a nice assortment of shorebirds on the northwest side of Boulder Reservoir (that is, the muddy delta accessible from the trailhead near the bend in 55th):
Long-Billed Curlew (2) Marbled Godwit (8) White-Faced Ibis (16) Greater yellowlegs, lesser yellowlegs, Franklin's gulls (many), Bonaparte's gulls, ring-billed gulls, and California gulls were also in the same area, along with typical duck species. Like Mike Henwood, I have also seen mixed flocks of western and mountain bluebirds, with large numbers of the latter, in multiple locations. The other bird I've seen in large numbers is Wilson's Snipe: 11 at Boulder Reservoir, 8 at Clover Basin Reservoir, and 26 at Golden Ponds.
