This morning at 10:30, and again at 11:00, I saw two black-necked stilts in the Platte River  about 1/4 mile north of Bowles (for those who know the area, just north of Bowles is a footbridge across the river, and just north of that is an island - they were foraging at the south end of the island).

I'm pretty sure that is still Arapahoe County - first time in 22 years I've seen that species on the Platte - very cool!

Update!  At 6:30 pm there were three black-necked stilts along the island.  Across the river to the east, there were 4 spotted sandpipers, and just north there was a killdeer...so a shore bird mecca. And yes that is Arapahoe County.
