    Local gull expert states "LBBG due to clean white head, extra large gonys spot and not enough white in scapular and tertial crescents." Darn, no lifer! Still present in my county seen today again. Still looking for it ... Thanks Gary

    Hi all Colorado has been hosting a rare Slaty-backed Gull last week or so in Weld and Larimer counties. This lake (Kyger Open Space) was one of its favorite hangouts. The bird in question is swimming on the water. Thanks Gary, Nunn, CO In this photo looks like a Lesser on the beach.

    Hi all Seen on our Crow Valley Xmas Count this weekend on Pawnee National Grassland. "Common" (mocker) during breeding season. We did have one mocker on this count few years back. Only photos I have. When I initially saw it it looked to have long tail and when perched those drooping wings (seen in binos). I hoped for mocker but each passing day says Northern Shrike.

    Hi all Crom Lake, Weld County, Colorado, over the weekend ... "expected" species So, the Colorado default is Long-billed Dowitcher which is what I typically go with. This was lone bird at Crom Lake, got a closeup shot. Can someone explain what makes this individual Long or Short-billed?

    Hi all Colorado, Weld County Landfill, this past weekend ... usual type gulls here. #1 Lower right, Lesser Black-backed or California Gull? Back doesn't seem dark enough for former. #2 Same immature bird both photos. Seemed to large for California? Herring?
