Field Trip ReportSunday, March 6, 2005 Leader Nick Komar (quetzal65@comcast.net). Six gull aficionados participated in the field trip in Loveland from 9 am to 2 pm. Gulls were more scarce than usual, but several groups were found at Loveland High School parking lot, Donath Reservoir, Rist Benson Lake, and Larimer County Landfill. Most were Ring-billed Gulls, but a few dozen Herring Gulls were also present, and several California Gulls have arrived. A rare Lesser Black-backed Gull and Thayer's Gull (both immatures) were present at the Landfill. Other highlights included great looks at three subspecies of Canada Goose and hundreds of Cackling Geese (Richardson's race) at Lake Loveland, and a very cooperative flock of Cedar Waxwings, graced by two Bohemian Waxwings, also at Lake Loveland.
