Boulder Co. Long-tailed Duck, Glossy Ibis 4/29/12

[Christian Nunes]

Hello birders,

At about 6 am, there was a breeding-plumaged female LONG-TAILED DUCK with a group of REDHEADS and 1 LESSER SCAUP in the northwest corner of Boulder Reservoir. No large shorebirds at the NW corner, but there were 2 SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS and 7 WILSON'S PHALAROPES. 

Over at Cottonwood Marsh, there was 1 WILLET and a SOLITARY SANDPIPER. A flock of ibis flew in, and one was a GLOSSY. The other 7 where WHITE-FACED. 

Good birding,
