A dark female Mottled Duck was present this morning (seen by Tony Leukering and me) just sw of the upper “boat launch “ accessed on Kiowa Co Rd C (which ends on e side of boat launch. It was loosely attached to 5 or do half grown Mallard-like ducks. Many Mallards this time of year are darker bodied than normal. This bird is immediately recognizable as different and has all dark tail - same color as body- and evenly dark underparts (viewable while dabbling)
It swam into veg after 10 or so minutes and was not seen later, during heat of day, when all ducks were out of sight Steve Mlodinow Longmont CO Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
