Hi Cobirders, My son Bob took me up to Boulder Walden Ponds-Cottonwood Marsh
had a lot of waterfowl including Ring-necked Ducks, Widgeon ,
Redhead, Green-winged Teal,Mallard, Gadwall and two Northern Pintail. Best of
all a Cinnamon Teal (fos). Several groups of Canada Geese and
70 Ring-billed Gulls. The diving pair of Widgeon with wings unfolded held next
to their body showing the large white patch of upper wing. They dove
in shallow water quickly. What they were eating I did not see. Lots of birders
there too.
On to Legion Park Valmont reservoir overlook. Not much today. Large flock of
Coot with 4 male Red-breasted Mergansers nearby. A Common Raven
flew over calling. There was one Western Grebe and one Double-crested Cormorant.
We went to Sombrero Marsh pond and it had a good variety of birds. Many
Ring-necked Ducks and at least 10 male Canvasbacks,Bufflehead, C.Goldeneye,
and Hooded Merganser.
Four hours of birding on Valentine Day added a lot to my year list.
