Aurora Reservoir, Arapahoe County-Magpies and Pelicans

[Jean Stevenson]

This morning I saw two American White Pelicans hanging out with gulls at Aurora Reservoir.  I don’t remember seeing pelicans there before.  I have also observed Black Billed Magpies in a couple of different areas at Aurora Reservoir over the past two or three weeks.  Again, although I have seen many magpies and pelicans at Cherry Creek Reservoir over the years, I don’t remember seeing magpies at Aurora Reservoir until recently.  Did I just miss them or is this new?  Thanks

Data for the Aurora Reservoir eBird hotspot shows magpies regular there (but mostly rather few in number) during the Sept - April period, and only infrequent in the late spring and summer. But the summer period also has relatively little data submitted for the location.
