Greetings birders,
An adult Mew Gull was foraging on the ice at the south end of Douglas Lake/Reservoir north of Ft Collins today. I assume this is the same one Andy Bankert first reported and Dave Leatherman caught a glimpse of 5 or 6 days ago. It was actively searching the ice for little tidbits of food trapped in the ice, at least that's my take of it. It was one of the first few gulls I looked at and easy to identify because it's white crescents just jumped out at me. I also saw 3 - 5 Bonaparte's Gulls that ebird flagged as rare, late I assume.
