[cobirds] White-faced Ibis at Cherry Creek State Park, Arapahoe County

At about 1PM today there was a flock of about 10 White-faced Ibis in the (flooded) Cottonwood Marsh Wetlands area.  Visible from the Belleview Ave side, or by parking at the Cottonwood Marsh trailhead and walking in toward the west side.  Also a large (about 200 birds) mixed flock of swallows over the reservoir near the marina, battling the fierce winds.  We tallied Barn, Tree and Cliff Swallows.  Watching them in the wind, you had to appreciate that migration is hard work!
