Hello again all! Had to head to Wellington for a quick work run this afternoon and headed over to Cobb Lake after my boss said she had a Black-bellied Plover there this morning. The bird was there at 230pm in beautiful breeding plumage. Along with the plover, there were 4 Whimbrel, a dozen Willet, three Western Sandpipers, and 5 Marbled Godwits. The Godwits flew off while I was there and my boss had seen Long-billed Dowitchers which I missed. 3 Forster's Terns were loafing on what looked like a drowned culvert pipe next to a American White Pelican.
Note: Cobb Lake is a PRIVATE lake that can only be viewed from CR56 on the north end. And since I know everyone was wondering, I did submit my first ebird checklist for these sightings. Hopefully, I completed it correctly. Bird is the word! Josh Bruening Fort Collins -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
