[cobirds] Lake Dillon, Summit County birds

Here since Monday evening on Lake Dillon, along Hwy 6 and bike path
 
Huge flock of Western Grebes along the entire section of the lake starting at the Dillon Marina; all calling to each other and diving
 
Also huge flock of Gulls;  I gotta go with Herring Gulls but will take correction.  Just looked in my book again and am waffling between Herring and Ring-billed.   I know their legs were not yellow; mostly winter adults; however there were quite a few with brown plumage mixed-in.
 
So the lake has been noisy for sure.
 
A couple Canada geese; Mallards;
 
Also an Osprey flew thru.
 
and 1 Franklin's Gull.  And again, I'll take correction on that id; however, its upper wings were a lovely soft gray on top as it flew away if that helps.
