Hi all,
On 2/25, I found 3 White Pelicans huddled together on the ice at Marston
Reservoir, Denver County. On this day there was hardly any, any, any open water.
I did not see the above birds on 2/26 or on 2/27. I think they were on there
way to somewhere else, but they were very early for Marston.
Today, 2/27, at Marston, seen from Bow Mar Dr., were Common Mergansers, Common
Goldeneye, a few American Wigeon and some other goodies. Two, ad. Lesser
Black-backed Gulls were on the ice. One was a very dark backed[almost black]
colored bird. The other ad. Lesser Black-backed Gull had more of the typical
dark gray colored back.
There were many Herring Gulls and one ad. California Gull, and many Ring-billed
Gulls. A first cycle Thayer's Gull was present. I saw 4 Greater Scaup and
perhaps there were more further out across the lake. They were with Lesser
Scaup. I saw all of the above in the afternoon.
The lake is less than half melted. Denver Water is letting water out of the
lake now. It seems to be at a fairly fast pace, but I do not know how much more
the reservoir will be dropped.
Happy Birding !
