[cobirds] Boyd Lake - Larimer County

Boyd Lake: 



Near the north end of the Park we saw a Nothern Goshawk.  It lit on a tree 
branch facing us about 20 feet away and sat there for about 5 minutes.  No 
mistaken a Goshawk - very long red tail,  verti cal bars on breast , hawk 
sized, and bared tail. 



Also later on the North end of Long Lake, among all the gulls and Mallards was 
one Marbled Godwit.

June 25th:

Boyd Lake State Park:

Killdeer in abundance - high percentage young of the year.

2 Horned Grebes and one Gadwall Duck.

Western Grebes feeding their Grebelings.   A New Word?   I could be tossed 
out of the Bird Watchers World for that!

We visited Boyd Lake State Park on Sept. l and did not see much migration 
activitie there so far.  however today gave a lttle increase in some areas - 
Red-winged Blackbirds and Grackles are forming in large flocks.  I showed one 
of the Park staff an Osprey flying - she said she had seen two there earlier.  
Some Pelicans showing signs of migrational intents - one Vesper Sparrow but no 
Sparrow groups observed by us.  Almost no waterfowl - a Lonesome George Mallard 
here and there, 2 Pied Bill Grebes and a few Killdeer, probably in migration.  
No big rafts of ducks on the reservoir which we expected to see.  We keep 
watching so we might see big numbers anytime now.
