Little Gull at Adobe Creek Reservoir, Bent and Kiowa Counties

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,

I just found a juvenile Little Gull at Adobe Creek Reservoir (Blue Lake)
at 10 a.m. this morning. It was offshore in the north part of the lake,
best viewed from the two casual boat ramps just north of the water
gauging structure (the metal culvert with a tiny solar panel on top).
This is just west of the official boat ramp. Drive north on Bent County
Road 10 to where it turns abruptly to the east, and continue north on
the two track to the point. Look to the north and west from the point.

County listers might be able to count this bird in both counties, as it
moves around a lot. There are multiple juvenile Sabine's Gulls in the
same part of the lake today.
