I posted several months ago about purchasing a pass to Aurora Reservoir.
And I have used it as much as my time allowed - seven visits since the end
of September. At the time I purchased the pass, I was sure I would be
turning up cool gulls left and right if I just put a bit of time into it!

Hi all
We met up with John and Kelly--could not relocate--but Kelly has excellent
photos! We drive around the town (not big at all if you come). We'll try
later today (and the next and the next ...). Thanks for the tip Bill.
Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn

John Vanderpoel called me to say that he had just (about 10:30 a.m. on 11/23)

have flown north a bit.

Amy,
Those are sheaths on new feathers growing in. A Junco should have finished
its Fall molt by October, so I'm guessing this bird lost a bunch of head
