Mew Gull, South Platte Reservoir, Jefferson County side

[David Suddjian]

In the growing light before sunrise this morning (2/8) I saw an adult Mew Gull among a nice gull flock on what was left of the ice at South Platte Reservoir, in the Jefferson Co portion. Two Lesser Black-backed Gulls were also present. The Mew had lost most of its wintertime streaks and smudges. Pretty much all the gulls flew off to the south before sunrise.

When I drove by in the early afternoon nearly all the ice had melted.
