ARCTIC TERN continues at Chatfield State Park (Jefferson/Douglas)

[Joey Kellner]

Glenn Walbek reports that the adult alternate plumaged Arctic Tern is still present.  The bird alternates between flying around the center of Chatfield Reservoir (not yet observed coming near shore) and standing on one of the bouys in the center of the reservoir.  The best viewing can be from one of two places.  The first location is the handicapped fisherman's access "pier" (this is immediately west of the south boat launch and marina).  If the bird is not seen perched on a bouy or flying around here then walk past the trees located west of this spot (these trees block a birder's view of the southern portion of the reservoir) to where you can see the rest of the deeper portion of the reservoir.
