This morning in the Longmont area, I did not see a Long-tailed Duck at McIntosh Reservoir, but I did see one at Lagerman Reservoir. Lagerman was ice covered a week ago but is now ice free. An excited group of Ring-billed Gulls, Herring Gulls, Common Mergansers, and Common Goldeneyes was feeding there this morning. Lagerman might be worth checking in the near future to see if a more interesting gull shows up.
The area of open water on McIntosh Reservoir is still small. As the ice recedes this week, I wonder if the feeding group will move there. McIntosh is the more typical location for the local merganser-goldeneye-gull activity this time of year.
