Caspian Tern-Timnath Reservoir

[marimammoser]

This afternoon there was one Caspian Tern on the north shore

of Timnath Reservoir in Larimer County along with a sizable

group of Franklin's Gulls, Ring Billed Gulls and a few California

Gulls. There were also 7-10 Forster's Terns.

Hi all

Not sure if everyone is aware of this but if you enter the Wild Wings neighborhood at the most northern entrance on the east side of Timnath Reservoir and go straight west through three traffic circles you will have magnificent views from northeast corner of Timnath Reservoir within new development area.  They have a few sidewalk trails that go right to water's edge.  The gulls and terns seem to frequent this northeast corner, too. Enjoy it while it lasts ... I'm sure future housing development will obstruct this excellent vantage point. :-(

Thanks, Gary Lefko, Nunn
