This afternoon I had several new arrivals including osprey on a traditional nest platform (Prospect Road at Poudre River crossing, in Fort Collins), common grackles, Clark's Grebe, Franklin's Gull and 3 early(?) Bonaparte's Gulls. The gulls and grebe were at Timnath Reservoir late this afternoon. Unusually abundant at Timnath and other lakes in the area this weekend were Red-breasted Mergansers and Horned Grebes. Both species were actively engaged in spring courtship rituals. I don't recall ever before hearing Horned Grebes vocalizing and seeing dancing pairs.
