I checked some water bodies in northern Larimer and encountered the same fog
and difficult viewing conditions everyone else has been having.
Hamilton Reservoir attached to the Rawhide Power Plant just north of the
Buckeye Road
All three mergansers
Eared Grebes (few)
Bald Eagle (1 adult)
Several other common waterfowl species
Park Creek Reservoir as viewed from Larimer 80Road about 8 miles west of
Hamilton Reservoir
TUNDRA SWAN (3) as I scoped them from a fair distance, they took off and flew
due north up over Gilman Mountain and out of sight
North Poudre Reservoir #4
Snow Goose (8 including one for-real "Blue")
Ross's Goose (2)
NOTE: THIS RES IS NO LONGER PUBLIC AND INVOLVED WITH COLORADO DPW. IT IS
WHOLLY RUN BY THE DITCH COMPANY, CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC AND I WAS ASKED TO LEAVE
BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE THE SMALL-PRINT SIGN NEXT TO THE OPEN GATE. ALL THE TREES
ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE RES ARE BEING CUT DOWN IN PREP FOR NEW DAM
CONSTRUCTION. THE WATER WILL BE COMPLETELY FROZEN BY TOMORROW (MY GUESS) SO
JUST TAKE THIS PLACE OFF YOUR LIST.
North Poudre Reservoir #3
A quick scan produced nothing unusual
Timnath Reservoir
Lots of gulls, about 10 lingering pelicans, big group of mergansers
Didn't see anything unusual but will admit to being frozen beyond the point of
sharp concentration.
Not a single loon. Amazing.
