Late afternoon, I stopped by the Blue River Water Treatment Plant (Silverthorne) where the duck numbers are down considerably from mid-January. There were 3 Barrow's Goldeneye, specifics below in my eBird submission. Earlier in the day while driving , I saw a buteo which I believe was a Red-tailed Hawk.
