This morning I got a rare "insider" view of Weld's "fabled" Windsor Reservoir courtesy of one of its fine neighbors. We walked the NE shoreline and were treated to many (and I mean MANY!) birds.
Canada Goose - 5-6(!) digit in numbers Snow Goose - at least two dozen (some blue) We struck out on Greater White-fronted Goose though there "HAD" to be one among the throngs of geese "somewhere". Mallard - 5-digit in numbers Northern Pintail - 3-4-digit in numbers Red-breasted Merganser - 4 Common Goldeneye - few Common Merganser - few Bald Eagle - 5 (1ad, 4imm) Northern Harrier Red-tailed Hawk Ring-billed Gull Eastern Bluejay American Robin Black-capped Chickadee Downy Woodpecker Northern Flicker House Sparrow American Tree Sparrow House Finch Western Meadowlark Eurasian-collared Dove It's a shame wildlife viewers don't have access to Weld's great reservoirs (Windsor, Latham, and Milton) more often--here's hoping the Colorado Birding Trail project when it comes to our area can work out some access for the public.
