[cobirds] Report from Barr Lake

Hi Currently there is a lot of water and shore bird activity at Barr Lake, although nothing that would qualify for the rare bird alert that I could see. I started at 6:30 this morning, the great eastern sun was just rising and the light across the lake for birding couldn't have been better,
