Union Reservoir update (Weld)

[Nicholas Komar]

This evening I visited Union Reservoir, hoping to see recently reported Common and Arctic Tern and Snowy Plover. After a sweep of the northeast shore following the county roads, at first I had struck out, finding none of the target birds. Then I returned to the north end and was able to locate the pair of snowy plovers, both of which appear to be males. Other birds of interest were two Black Terns sitting on buoys in the middle of the reservoir as well as a black-necked stilt and straggling marbled godwit further east along the shoreline.
