Sabine's Gulls-Rigden Res-Fort Collins-Larimer

[Josh Bruening]

Good day all!

The number keeps jumping. In addition to the two that Joe Mammoser posted yesterday, there is a third Sabine's Gull at Rigden Reservoir. All 3 are juveniles. The middle of their backs are brown and not the expected darkish gray for an adult and the all have a obvious black on the ends of their tails instead of plain white for adult birds. They have been doing circles around the res offering good looks in flight but rarely landing on the water. The reservoir is located at the eastern terminus of Horsetooth Road where it meets Strauss's Cabin Road.

Bird is the word!
