Late ibis at Teller Lake, Boulder County

[Indra]

Before work today I went by Teller Lake, the one by the parking lot for White Rocks. The white crowned sparrows were singing, and a big flock of blackbirds was in the grasses along the trail form the parking lot to the lake, making a pleasant walk listening and seeing the blackbirds foraging in the grasses. When I got to the lake, an ibis flushed and flew to the south shore. Another was walking along the edge, directly in the sunlight. Thanks to Steve M, I know to report them as White Faced/Glossy Ibis, but that brings up an inquiry box on ebird, and I was unable to document them. There were also 35 white Pelicans and a great assortment of ducks, western and pied billed grebes, coots, and gulls (they all looked like ring billed, but I didn't have a scope). It was a lovely morning and if I hadn't had to get to work, it would have been nice to stay to see who else might be still hanging around.
