Team BrachyRAMphus spent a good chunk of the day searching bodies of water in eastern Larimer County in search of waterbirds today. Our first stop was at Boulder County's version of Terry Lake, where we could not find the Red-throated Loon that had been reported recently. The lake did have a decent number of Bonaparte's Gulls, our first Common Goldeneyes of the season, and a Prairie Falcon. Our next stop back in our home county was at Boyd Lake where we found at least 8 Common Loons at multiple stops on the eastern side of the lake. There is a nice area where you can park and scan towards the northern edge of the lake where we were able to see 4 Common Loons at once. A young Snow Goose was also a little unexpected. After a quick stop for food, we checked Fossil Creek which had a nice assortment of the expected waterfowl. Timnath Reservoir had a lot of gulls, but most of the Herring/Thayer's were too far away to identify to species. The northeast corner had several Least Sandpipers, but no other shorebirds. Cobb Lake brought our loon total to double digits for the day with 2 birds, and the Larimer County Windsor Reservoir had at least 23 Horned Grebes.
