After checking on the still-present rarities (wwscoter, blkscoter, and
longtailedduck) at Douglas Reservoir (Larimer), Georgia Doyle and I went up to
Hamilton Reservoir associated with the Rawhide Power Plant north of Buckeye
Road. There we saw a group of three Tundra Swans swimming in the southwest
corner and a lone fourth Tundra Swan a little further north along the west
shore (but still basically the southwest corner of the res). All were adults.
Nick Komar loaned me his wonderful Swarovski scope and even with that wonderful
piece of glass I could not make out any yellow in the lores of these birds (but
they still might show some with a closer view).
Also, several of us all looked for the "saturated plumaged" (at least on the
back) harrier at Douglas Reservoir and Nick and Georgia say they may have seen
it, and report that its underparts, indeed, appeared "normal".
