We saw that bird, too. There was also an adult Forster's present, its
black cap mostly intact, but fading.

Sorry for being delinquent on posting birds here timely.
As a follow up to Dave’s post, I rode down to Chatfield Saturday morning. I
stopped on the dam on my way to the sand spit and counted 58 snowy egrets lined
up hunting about 630am.
I arrived at the sand spit (still Douglas county) and
The sandspit at the South Marina at Chatfield today around 1pm had
11 Black Terns
6 Common Terns
1 Forster's Tern
1 Marbled Godwit
2 California Gulls
~150 Ring-billed Gulls
Many Pelicans, maybe a dozen DC Cormorants.
So our shorebird search yielded 1 shorebird, but it was a good one.
