Hello all, With the warmer tempatures of late, I decided to check out the Park County reservoirs today. Common theme--ducks and eagles.
I started at Antero Reservoir which is 80% iced over and the anglers have switched over to ice fishing. Right under the dam is the only open water. 20+ Common Goldeneyes 20+ Buffleheads 1 Common Merganser 3 American White Pelicans 2 Bald Eagles (ice fishing) 10+ American Coots Driving east on Hwy 24, just west of Hartsel, 2 Golden Eagles 1 Bald Eagle Next stop was Spinney Revervoir which is about 20% iced over where I counted 23 Bald Eagles 'ice fishing' and another 3 catching thermals over the mountain range just west of the reservoir. On the water: 30+ Common Goldeneyes 20+ Buffleheads 3 California Gulls Ended up at Eleven Mile Reservoir which is about 40% iced over, mostly on the west end. From Howbert Point: 20+ American Wigeons 30+ Lesser Scaups 20+ Common Goldeneyes 30+ Buffleheads 1 Common Loon 5 California Gulls Good Birding, Bryan Patrick Woodland Park, CO -- Colorado Field Ornithologists: http://www.cfo-link.org/ Colorado County Birding: http://www.coloradocountybirding.com/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
