Platte River Delta--JEFFCO

[markc...@comcast.net]

This morning, I went back to the Platte River Delta  to see if we could re-locate the Short-billed Dowitcher from the other day.  Just like the other day, the dowitcher was not seen for over an hour and then appeared out of nowhere!  I was also rewarded with a Gray Flycatcher that gave us(Loch Kilpatrick) good looks.  Other birds of interest were Semipalamated Plover, Western Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Semipalamated Sandpiper, and Solitary Sandpipers .  Photos of the Short-billed, Gray Flycatcher, and Semipalamated Plover can be seen below:
