Greater Yellowlegs and Marsh Wren, Walden Ponds, Boulder County

[Paula Hansley]

Early this afternoon, I saw eight Greater Yellowlegs on the western shore of Cottonwood Marsh.  When I was leaving, they were close to the parking lot on the southern shore.

A chattering and singing Marsh Wren was in the cattails about 10 m north of the last sign towards the west along the boardwalk.

The lake had many of the usual dabblers (i.e., Am. Wigeon, Gadwall, No. Shoveler, Mallard) and a few Ring-necked Ducks.
