[cobirds] Loveland Gulls

2012-03-17 Thread Steven Mlodinow
Greetings All, Whilst it is hard to say what might be the size of a California Gull, with a relatively dark back and pink legs, such would not be a Western Gull. A Western Gull would dwarf a California Gull. I am not sure what other options exist, except aberrancy in some more common species.

Went camping down at Lake Pueblo State Park earlier this week. Woke up one morning to the most amazing song. First, a northern mockingbird. I know that sound very well, having grown up down south with mockingbird song often all night long in early summer. Then a different song, yet somewhat sim

Went up to the mountains today for some St. Patrick's Day birding. Was hoping to find Barrow's Goldeneyes still at the Blue River Water Treatment Plant, but no dice. Numbers of ducks there were down 90% from four weeks ago -- just a couple of Mallards, Gadwall, and Ring-necked Ducks. Some privat
