Reports of loons on the Front Range have been scarce this spring, so a Common Loon in breeding plumage at Lake Loveland (Larimer County) may be of interest. It has been there for at least 2 days, along with numerous Horned Grebes in breeding plumage. Best viewing from the swim beach in the northwest corner, where a gaggle of gulls are omnipresent. Although the gaggle is not large, there always seems to be something of interest (usually Thayer's Gull or Lesser Black-backed Gull, or both). This morning the attraction was an adult Thayer's Gull, and a handful of pink-breasted Franklin's Gulls, smartly adorned in their breeding plumage.
