Hi all, In the late afternoon I headed over to County Rd 48 near Lower Latham Reservoir in Weld County to check out the scene. The reservoir is opening up nicely and lots of waterfowl and gulls are hanging out there. In particular, amid a sea of Canada and Cackling Geese I spotted a pair of Greater White-fronted Geese at the customary shorebird spot just south of the road and a quarter mile or so west of Cty Rd 47. Further down road 48 and in an ag field north of it was a group of a dozen or so Snow Geese, including a few "Blue" morphs, as well as one ROSS'S GOOSE. For me it's always a treat to get 5 species of Goose in one area.
Also seen of note were numerous Red-winged Blackbirds, a couple Great-tailed Grackles, a Short-eared Owl, a Great Horned Owl, and a pair of Red-tailed Hawks, one with an enormous bulging crop. -- Eric DeFonso Fort Collins, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds".
