Red Phalarop continues at Chatfield

[Brian Johnson]

Wanted to give a update to the Red Phalarope that was found yesterday (I don't know who found it but thank you for finding and reporting it) at Chatfield's Delta is still present. I found it this morning after 10. It was working the shore along the Platte river as it flows into the reservoir. The bird was working it's way out into the reservoir on the Jefferson side of the river, the west bank. There also was a Sanderling nearby. From the Kingfisher lot I walked along the road one the concert trail and followed the many trails in that area to the river and followed it until I ran out of land and soon found the Phalarop after looking over every single Killdeer out there (there's a lot of them out there also).
Here is my checklist, soon to have a photo,
