HI all, I found the following at Fort Logan Cemetary on 11/28 : One blue- morph Snow Goose ad., and one white-morph juvenile, Ross's Goose, were in the second pond from the main entrance to the Cemetary, which is off of S. Sheridan Blvd. These birds were seen around 4:30pm. At Marston Reservoir the White-winged Scoter was in the middle to south end of the lake. You do need a scope to see this bird. I think the bird will stay around until the lake starts to freeze over, hopefully for the Xmas count. While scanning for Loons, all of a sudden 6 Loons all popped up out of the water at the same time. There were a total of 9 Common Loons today at the lake. 3, other Loons were swimming together in a separate part of the lake. One Loon was deffinately smaller than the 2 it was swimming with. It was not a Red-throated Loon. The 3 Loons were way out in the middle of the reservoir so getting deffinate ID markings was a little difficult. BUT the Loon which was smaller, swimming with the other 2 Common Loons had a light nape contrasting with a darker back, and from a distance the head looked rounded. So I am saying this smaller Loon was a probable Pacific Loon, most likely. More than 600 Common Mergansers were present today, along with Redheads and Ruddy Ducks, etc., etc. Happy Biding!Tina JonesLittleton, Jefferson County, CO. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
