I checked out Pueblo Res. yesterday (12/29) for waterfowl. There were there were hundreds, possibly thousands, of ducks on the water. Mostly C. Goldeneyes and C. Mergansers west of the North Shore Marina. Unfortunately this area was a shooting gallery. Whenever there was a volley of gunfire, the ducks would take off and fly in all directions. This made it difficult to systematically check over all of them. The best find was a pair of imperturbable Common Loons. Near the dam things were quieter and I found a pair of LONG-TAILED DUCKS. One was a handsome basic male. Its partner was a basic female (or maybe a 1st winter). There weren't a whole lot of gulls on the tires at the South Marina. An adult Lesser Black-backed Gull and an adult Great Black-backed Gull were seen here among the Herrings and Ring-bills. Rich Miller Canon City
