Lisa Edwards, Charlie Lawrence, Steve Larson and I run "the big loop" today through the mountains to see what birds might be visiting the lakes.
Lake George: Lots of Ring-necked Ducks (as John Drummond pointed out yesterday) A variety of ducks. Plamann Lake: Few birds, nothing of note Eleven Mile Reservoir (State Park): Common Loon - 1 SURF SCOTER - 3 (two together, one separate - all seen from Sucker Cove) Lots of American Coots (as usual for this time of year) and Western & Eared Grebes Spinney Mountain Reservoir (State Park): Common Loon - 2 Lots of American Coots (as usual for this time of year) Antero Reservoir (SWA): WHITE-WINGED SCOTER - 1 Too windy to make out much else Clear Creek Reservoir: A few birds, nothing of note Twin Lakes: Nothing much Mount Elbert Forebay: Barrow's Goldeneye - 5 Turquoise Lake: Very little Dillon Reservoir (west Marina): Barrow's Goldeneye - 26 Blue Water Waste Water Treatment Plant (Silverthorne): No goldeneyes (all on Dillon Reservoir for the day?) The number of ducks still seems a bit low, but then we've only had one "decent" cold front this month!
