Birders,
Today at Barr Lake where the water is WAY down as they are working on the dam:
Canada Goose
Cackling Goose
White Pelican
Killdeer
Pectoral Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
LB Dowitcher
Lesser Yellowlegs
Prairie Falcon
Dark Morph Rough-legged Hawk - likely the same one back for a 4th or 5th year
Coot
American Pipit
Horned Lark
Gadwall
Mallard
Pintail
Shoveler
Bufflehead
Goldeneye
GW Teal
Ruddy
Western Grebe
Eared Grebe
DC Corm
Gr Blue Heron
Herring, Ring-billed and Calif Gulls
By the looks of the water level, I doubt there will be many geese and probably very few eagles this winter. At this level, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole lake (what's left of it) freezes.
