All, The four adult and one immature Trumpeter Swans were still at Lower Church Res in Jefferson County at 8:30 this morning. I viewed them from the shopping center to the south, where they are viewable in excellent light. Incidentally, there was a pair of Cinnamon Teals at this lake last Sunday; as Eric Z says, this is pretty early for them this far north.
Several of the unusual geese were also at Stearns Lake in south Boulder Co this morning. Last sunday, there was a Snow Goose, a Blue Goose, and three white headed geese that I think are Ross's or Snow/Cackling or Canada hybrids. This didn't include the immature Bill Schmoker photographed about two weeks ago. These unusual geese have white heads, but brown bodies, and the rump and tail pattern of Cackling or Canada Geese. None of these geese look like the blue form of Ross's Goose, which is supposedly rare, and I've never seen, Cheers, Peter Gent. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
