Hi all,
I went to Aurora Rampart Reservoir late today[3:30pm], to get another Scoter
fix. Yes, the 3, Black scoters were present. These Scoters were eating Crayfish
also, but not as fast as the Scoters in Prospect Park were eating them. I did
not see the Pacific Loon until it appeared around 4pm. Then, as I was scanning
the lake, way on the southern side I saw what looked like Swans, which were
swimming over towards me,[thank goodness, since they were too far way for me to
call] . Finally they were in the middle of the lake, so I could get a good ID.
They were 4 adult Tundra Swans. The crown came to a rounded border when it
touched the upper bill. The eye of the bird almost looked separate from the
bill of the bird. Trumpeter Swan usually has an eye which looks like it is
part of the bill. There was a lot of head bobbing going on by each individual,
which made me think they were restless or agitated, but I'm not a Swan, to
totally agree with this description. It was very pretty out with light snow
coming down. Happy Birding,Tina JonesLittleton, Jefferson County, CO
