Boulder Reservoir, Boulder County, Nov. 9th

[Ted Floyd]

Hello, Birders. Hannah and Andrew and I went out to the Boulder Reservoir complex, Boulder County, this sunny, smoky, breezy Sunday afternoon, Nov. 9.

First, at Six Mile Reservoir, adjacent to Boulder Rez proper, we saw 47 Bonaparte's Gulls and all three merganser species.

Over at Boulder Rez, the highlight was a Pacific Loon. We saw another loon, farther out, that we couldn't ID. It was diving almost constantly; the bird seemed small, and I think it was another Pacific. But I'm not sure. Also on the Rez were another ~20 Bonaparte's Gulls.
