Cobirders,
Just a reminder that the Western Gull at Chatfield will be a FIRST STATE RECORD for this species if the sighting is accepted by the CBRC as expected. First state records do not happen very often. Just think. If you see the bird, twenty years from now you will be reminiscing about the great Western Gull fallout in 2011 to the next wave of Colorado birders. If you have been debating making the trip, a semi-serious birder, or whatever, go see the bird and you will be glad that you did. One thing to note is that Chatfield on the weekend is like a Chuck E Cheese's on a Saturday afternoon only with adults and their toys. I speculate that at some point during the day it will be so busy that the gull will not be able to find any respite and may take off for a more peaceful place. So, go. Go early. See the bird. Tip your hat to Glenn and Loch for having the wherewithal to stop and study the only Larus on the lake and enjoy the bird! Good birding, Steve Stachowiak Highlands Ranch, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
