[cobirds] Big Lake Day redux

Good afternoon, COBirders! What a fun day walking around Cherry Creek State Park! I’m so grateful for ALL who joined in for all, or part, of the walk: Quinn, Dwayne, Cinnamon (who came up from CO Sprgs), Colleen, Joey, Ken, and Susan. And, of course, we bumped into a bunch of other birdy

Re: [cobirds] Re: Caspian Tern, Cottonwood Marsh, Boulder Co

[cobirds] Long-billed Curlews - Chatfield Sandspit

A pair of Long-billed Curlews were on the Chatfield Sandspit this morning around 7:00 AM. Flew SW, maybe going to Platte River Delta. Saw one of the Sagebrush Sparrows. Didn’t see the Caspian Tern. Windy and cool. Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch -- You received this message because you are
