Greetings again- Anybody need Double-crested Cormorant for their Feb. Denver County list?
Many, many thanks for the myriad responses from the list about locations of Double-crested Cormorants in the Denver/Boulder area. Most people suggested the "spa also known as Valmont Reservoir" in Boulder. Dave Madonna confirmed last night that they do still have a small flock of DCCOs-including the one-winged DCCO he's been watching for 5 years. But the DCCO prize of the day goes to Paula Bard, who suggested checking City Park in Denver. Since this bird had come from City Park in Dec., this really should have been a no-brainer. But I had just assumed that most DCCOs would have been long-gone by now. However, I skeptically stopped by today and-lo and behold-2 DCCOs were sitting in the trees at the large lake close to the Museum of Nature and Science (called Ferril Lake in my map book but City Park Lake in other places). Another person noted that her records showed that breeding DCCOs tend to return to the City Park lakes starting in mid-Feb. I had no idea. So this bird is most likely heading back home to City Park-and it probably won't have long to wait for more compatriots.
