Sabine's gull, Chatfield, Arapahoe county

[Deborah Carstensen]

Thanks to everyone's observations and directions as to finding the Sabine's gulls, I was able to find them today without any problem. I saw three of them. (Life bird!) They were easy to find off the sand spit near the marina. They were so easy to identify that it makes me wonder if they could truly be an authentic gull!
I also saw two female yellow headed blackbird in a large flock of generic blackbirds. I didn't see any male yellow headed blackbirds or any red winged black birds with them. Most of them seemed to be brewers blackbird's but there were also some cow birds there as well.

There were quite a few white pelicans, double crested cormorants and Western grebes. I wasn't able to find the red phalaropes. Drat.
