Today, I joined a few other local birders to explore locations within the Loveland CBC circle. We observed about 50 species. Highlights were: Horseshoe Lake - Lesser Black-backed Gull (2), Thayer's Gull (1 adult), Great-tailed Grackle (36 at the dairy on the north side) Carter Lake -Common Loon (1), Horned Grebe (1), Eared Grebe (20) Dry Creek Reservoir - Ruddy Duck (43), Western Grebe (2) Hertha Reservoir - Greater Scaup (1) Lonetree and Lon Hagler Reservoirs - almost birdless along the route - Merlin (1), Pine Siskins (5) Observation conditions were suboptimal with sub-freezing temperature and low, heavy cloud cover.
The Loveland Christmas Bird Count date is set for January 1, 2015. If interested in joining (includes a free pizza dinner), let me know.
