Chatfield SP - Jeffco/Dougco - SB Dowitcher

[Ira Sanders]

Birders,

Went to Chatfield to look for the SB Dowitcher.  I did not see it but I am confident that I heard it about 11 am.  I was out on the spit and heard a clear tu-tu-tu towards the east.  The call matched the call on the Sibley App.  Scanned a lot but never saw it.  Other shorebirds: 

Semi Plover

Semi Sandpiper

Least Sandpiper

Spotted Sandpiper

Killdeer

Dougco: 

Only gulls on the sand spit.  1 Cal Gull.  Apparently when the water was high beavers made it to the sand spit and chewed off at least 2 trees and gnawed on several more.
