Dec 12 Cooley Lake (Arapahoe) had an adult *Glaucous Gull* and 1st cycle *Thayer's* with a gull flock loafing on ice which has since melted.
Dec 14 During the snowy afternoon my Ken Caryl Valley feeding stations attracted a nice 3 *Harris's Sparrows*, and unexpected *Lincoln's Sparrow*, and *Cassin's Finches*. Dec 15 In addition to the *Yellow-billed Loon* (seen in both Jefferson and Douglas), other birds of interest that I noted at Chatfield Reservoir this morning included 2 *Common Loons*, 1 *Red-necked Grebe*, 1 male *Barrow's Goldeneye*, 1 adult *Thayer's Gull*, 1 *Lesser-black-backed Gull* (both these were on the ice in the upper end of the Platte arm of the lake, not at the marina), 1 *Peregrine Falcon*, 1 *Prairie Falcon*, and 1 *Northern Shrike*. I explored in the upper region of the Plum Creek Nature Area up toward Titan Road (Douglas) and found a *Winter Wren* in a flotsom thicket along the creek. A *Merlin *was also noted in this area My Ken Caryl Valley yard had 2 continuing *Harris's Sparrows*, 2 *Evening Grosbeaks* flew over, and later 2 *Red Crossbills* (Type 2).
