Kecter Pit Ponds and Timnath Reservoir (Larimer County)

[Skyler Bol]

All,

With a late start (around 12:00) after running some errands my family and I decided to go to eastern Larimer county to bird. Here are the high lights.

Kecter Pit Ponds:
10 Great Blue Herons
1 Willet
1 Lesser Yellowlegs
150 presumably Cliff Swallows (maybe a few barns)
1 Blue Grosbeak
1 Cassin's Sparrow
1 Grasshoper Sparrow
I possible (not certain) Purple Martin female (this bird was seen for a few seconds flying high above and giving a call very similar to a Purple Martin. Have any even been seen this year in northern CO?)

Timnath Res. (including eastern marsh):
1 Blue Grosbeak
2 Glossy Ibis (east side on the north shore 30ft from where the marsh ends)
1 Savannah Sparrow
1 Ring-necked Pheasant
1 Spotted Sandpiper
2 Lesser Scaup
2 Eared Grebes

If anyone sees a Purple Martin ar or around Kecter Pit Ponds please let me know.

Thanks
