I visited Triadelphia yesterday afternoon and this morning.  Today I met Nancy M., so those sightings should be jointly credited.  All birds at least touched HowCo waters.  Most notable yesterday were Bonaparte's Gull.  Today's highlights were Common Goldeneyes, Common Mergansers (first of the season?), and American Pipits.
