Good afternoon,

1 ad. Lesser Black-backed Gull, Equalizer Lake, Oct. 11

1 distant Black-necked Stilt, Timnath Reservoir, Oct. 12.  Late.

1 distant Snowy Egret, same location and date.  Late.

Also, Red Crossbill flyby in Centerra neighborhood in Loveland, going west.  Heard only.  I think there was more than one. 

Red-breasted Nuthatches also continue in my neighborhood this fall.

To this report I add:

At least 1 White-throated Sparrow on the Colorado State U. campus in Ft. Collins today.  I saw one and may have heard at least one more.  The White-throat was part of a flock that was in the grove of trees located behind the Natural Resources building.  I was talking the other day how I hadn't yet seen a White-throated in Colorado.

Red Crossbills continue on campus, also.
