Greetings, Jeff and I took advantage of the nice weather this morning and headed up to Fossil Creek Reservoir southeast of Ft. Collins to see if we could find the Eurasian Wigeon.
As the other birders in the area seemed to be having little luck, we fell back on Josh Bruening’s original observation information and headed west from the parking area down to the end of the Sandpiper Trail. We located the bird straight out from the observation platform at the end of the trail. We both got one good scope view of the wigeon and I was getting set to race back to the parking lot to see if I could catch the group of birders from Boulder when hunter gunfire went off nearby and all the ducks took off to the east. We never relocated the bird, but I strongly suspect he will return to that west end of the lake. Awesome find Josh!
