The water level at Timnath Reservoir (southeast Larimer County) is as low as ever, mudflats are extensive, and shorebirding should be fabulous this weekend.
Shorebird species reported there on eBird in the last few days include: American Avocet Killdeer Semipalmated Plover Black-bellied Plover Wilson’s Phalarope Lesser Yellowlegs Spotted Sandpiper Pectoral Sandpiper Bairds Sandpiper Semipalmated Sandpiper Least Sandpiper Dunlin (present at dusk today) Stilt Sandpiper Long-billed Dowitcher Wilson’s Snipe The picnic area/boat ramp on the south side (entrance road off CR 40) is open to birders (thanks to an arrangement negotiated by Fort Collins Audubon Society.) However, the east mudflats are best approached from County Line Rd (aka Weld CR13) and from the Wild Wings neighborhood.
