Jackson still good, Morgan County

[Tom Wilberding Boulder CO]

Hello COBirders,

I visited Jackson Reservoir this afternoon and found some of the shorebirds mentioned by Joey Kellner & Mark Miller a week ago, including American Golden-Plover.
Three flocks of Sandhill Cranes flew overhead--a Bald Eagle too, which riled the shorebirds.
A good place to scope is north of point 17 on the dam wall per Mark Miller, where wall repairs are in progress. I hopped over the wall and stepped down the dam blocks with caution to get a little closer.

I also hiked the west side of the reservoir, about three miles one-way, where I noticed a few pinkish Franklin’s Gulls and a couple of AMGP.
Here is an 9-photo slide show from today: http://bit.ly/SResYf
