Equalizer Lake, Larimer Co.; April 19

[Scott Baron]

Hello,

I found a late American Tree Sparrow in a mixed sparrow flock adjacent to Equalizer Lake today.  Decent looks at the bird as it perched low and fed on the ground.

In recent visits to Equalizer Lake/Houts Reservoir I've been seeing a Lesser Black-backed Gull.  The other bird(s) was an adult but today's bird or birds (there may have been two) appeared to be a second cycle.

Gadwall have replaced most of the ducks.  Western and Clark's Grebe are back in full force.  Say's Phoebes have been present in the area over the past week.

Happy birding and Happy Easter.
