This afternoon I visited 3 gull hangouts - Larimer landfill, Horseshoe Reservoir and Boyd Lake Swim Beach (state park pass required). The highlight was multiple Lesser Black-backed Gulls at each location (7 in total). A flock of more than 30 Bonaparte's Gulls bounced between the two lakes. Best viewing at the marina in the state park. At horseshoe reservoir, a feeding flotilla of goldeneye is attended by a frenzy of large gulls dominated by Herring. An adult Thayer's joined as well as a mammoth pale juvenile that appears to be a hybrid that is part Glaucous. More details and full checklists were posted to ebird.org. If you are interested in viewing this show tomorrow morning, I recommend viewing Horseshoe from the east side causeway. Park below the causeway in the state park (fee area).
