Andy Bankert and I visited Horseshoe Lake in Loveland yesterday evening. We observed more than 1500 gulls in the mudflats of the southwest corner, easily scoped from city property along Monroe Avenue.
Species breakdown was: Glaucous-winged Gull - 1 adult (looks like same bird that visited Larimer in December and January) Nelson’s Gull (hybrid Herring x Glaucous) - 1 imm. Lesser Black-backed Gull - 2 ad. Iceland Gull - 8 (half adults, half immatures) Herring Gull - 10 Ring-billed Gull - 100 Franklin’s Gull - 300 California Gull - 1200 Also of note at the north end of the Lake, in the farm pond, there was a drake Mexican Duck. See eBird checklists for photos. Nick Komar Fort Collins -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
