Hi went this afternoon. Roads were mostly clear. Got there at 2:40PM
Checked old Heron observation lot no cars then.
Went to Model air plane field. One birder was parked there observing
2 male winter Lapland Longspurs on ground at the dumpster.
There was also a flock of colorful Horned Larks (about 20) nearby at
the viewing area. Very active seemed to like skimming the
snow.
Went thru the campground D nothing. At the registration station had
16 Robins in the 2 trees along with 2 Starlings and a magpie.
Going back by the Heron park lot there were now 6 cars there. A
fellow name of Hutch offer to help me. When we got nearer
to the observation deck there were several observers. The two Brant
were near shore and had moved around to north side where the shore
curves back and was too steep for me to go down . So I bailed out.
If still there and if Tuesday birders do not cancel it will be cold
(35 by noon) I will try again. Been many many years since I have
seen a pale bellied Brant in Colorado.
May not be split in my Lifetime!
Good birding today
