Kathy Mihm-Dunning, Dean Shoup and I did a mountain lakes loop today. MANY
ducks are still absent from the lakes likely because we STILL haven't had a
MAJOR arctic cold front pass through Colorado.
Hightlights (and lowlights):
Eleven Mile Reservoir:
4 Common Loons
1 Surf Scoter
2 Common Goldeneye
LOTS of Bufflehead and American Coots
Spinney Mountain Reservoir:
1 Surf Scoter
1 Black Scoter
1 Hooded Merganser (only merganser of any species seen all day)
LOTS and LOTS of Bufflehead and American Coots
Antero Reservoir:
Denver Water draining for reservoir/dam work
Ice Pond (Buena Vista):
A few dabbling ducks
Clear Creek Lake:
Dead
Mount Elbert Forebay:
2 Common Goldeneye (otherwise NOTHING)
Turquoise Lake:
2 Western Grebes (otherwise NOTHING)
Lake Dillon:
A couple dabblers and some California Gulls (otherwise dead)
Things should pick up on the mountain lakes once we get a REAL GOOD cold
front that starts to freeze lakes well north of here. We'll see. :-)
