Today's DFO trip out NE not only produced a number of raptors, but a few other goodies. Specifically we found two Greater Yellowlegs and two immature Trumpeter Swans at Boyd Ponds SWA (Location: Log Lane Village (Fort Morgan) Exit 79 I-76, take Elm St. in Log Lane Village north to the parking lot near the river. From the parking lot walk the "road" east and cross the canal. Head further east along the canal. The swans were in the open water of the pond on the south side of the canal. The yellowlegs were together and in the canal itself a little further east. In addition, several Northern Bobwhite were also seen here.
Glenn Walbek took some great photos of the swans. See the photos at: http://www.pbase.com/gwalbek/image/154428380 At Lower Latham Reservoir, lots of Northern Harriers and (oddly) Rough-legged Hawks at the Lower Latham marsh (south side of Latham along Weld County Road 48), but no Short-eared Owls.
