Tim Smart and I did a mountain lakes loop today. Birds are still not up to their "normal" numbers and several species were very under-represented (Common Goldeneyes, Mergansers of any kind, etc.). The following are our results:
Eleven Mile Reservoir: Common Loon - 1 American Pipit - 1 Spinney Mountain Reservoir: Tundra Swan - 5 Common Loon - 3 Bonaparte's Gull - 10 Brown Thrasher - 1 American Pipit - 1 Antero Reservoir: White-winged Scoter - 2 (1ad male, 1female) Common Loon - 3 Sandhill Crane - 32 flying overhead calling Lapland Longspur - 1 Clear Lake: Surf Scoter - 3 immature Common Loon - 1 calling! Twin Lakes: Very little - typical Mount Elbert Forebay: Barrow's Goldeneye - 11 (8m, 3f) Turquoise Lake: Very little - also typical Dillon Reservoir: Barrow's Goldeneye - 11 Blue River Water Treatment Plant: Yellow-rumped Warblers - 12 Marsh Wren - 1 Arrived at Chatfield Reservoir with just enough light to relocate the Dunlin on the marina sandspit and the Pacific Loon and the two imm Black Scoters, both seen from the Heronry Overlook (thanks to Steve Stachowiak, Glenn Walbek, Cole Wild, and Nick Komar).
