Hello all, I was out driving around this afternoon for an hour or so trying to keep my daughter napping. And it worked beautifully. But I stopped by Poudre #3 (off of CR 11 and north of CR66) outside of Wellington. Thousands of Canada and Cackling Geese were present. Approximately 20 Snow Geese with at least on Ross's Goose were in the mix. I thought I had a Greater-white fronted Goose but the huge flock took off after 2 adult Bald Eagles flew in. I actually watched one of the Eagles take out one of the Canada's. This is one of the few reservoirs around that still had approx. 50% open water. This would be a great place to check out if any one has time this weekend. A Brant could make it a 6 Goose Lake for a day if there is one there and I was right about the Greater-white fronted. A scope is preferable and morning is the best time to view it if the sun is out.
Also, I will be out and about in the Denver and Greeley areas tomorrow and would love to know if anyone is seeing any Swan spuhs around and could post about it. I will gladly return the favor!
