Not sure how you all feel about a generic birding observation, but I felt this needed to get out.
Last Friday (5 Sept), on our way out to Meeker, Colorado, we drove by Antero Reservoir in Park County. It was pretty obvious that the summer rains have hit this area pretty good. As we drove past the north entrance to Antero Reservoir, I noticed a pretty good area of mud flats extending from Hwy 24 west to the dam. I have never seen it like this. The awesome part of this sight was the hundreds, probably thousands, of shorebirds all around each of the mud flat/small lakes that were in my field of view. Arrgghhhh! I couldn't stop! Had the family with me and we hadn't scheduled a stop over at Antero. Who knows what we missed. Anyways, just decided to post this so that other birders may get the chance to make the trip up to Antero. And we have a storm hitting the state this week. Bet it would be an awesome trip.
