I got a call this morning from Rachel Hopper who had located an adult female
White-winged Scoter on Douglas Reservoir in northern Larimer County (nw of the
intersection of 60 and 15RDs). Once there I located the scoter, and a female
Long-tailed Duck, which had apparently been seen late last week by David Wade
and reported to eBird. I went over to North Poudre #3, found nothing of note
except a gale-force nw wind and a large throng of Mallards in the northeast
corner. Returning to Douglas, I ended up running into David Wade. While we
were scoping in the cold wind now present there, a female Black Scoter appeared
along the west side of the res north of the westside parking lot. David and I
bundled up to try for closer looks, and for a time, both the White-winged and
the Black were swimming together in the north end of the res. The Long-tailed
Duck continued at the north end off the east shore.
