A Red-Necked Phalarope, not a Red Phalarope, made a quick visit to the dam area at Barr Lake this morning, so I'm guessing that is what was here yesterday evening, too. It is paler than the others I have seen this fall but still doesn't quite fit the description of Red. Tough ID.
There were about 1000 gulls here at sunrise, some of them still feeding actively when I left at 8:15 AM. So this seems like a good location to check regularly for gulls and maybe jaegers. And then there are all those ducks to look at.... David Dowell Longmont, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
