Red-necked Phalarope -- Bluff Lake Nature Center, Denver County

[Chris Rurik]

It pains me to post this...

Chris Wood and Jessie Barry report 21 Red-necked Phalarope from Bluff Lake in the Stapleton Neighborhood of Denver.

I won't be returning from WA until this evening, so I hope they stick around until tomorrow!

This is a new bird for the Bluff Lake bird list, which currently stands a little over 175 species.

As a reminder we will soon be draining Bluff Lake to begin reconstruction on the dam -- which will prevent it from drying out in years to come.
