I believe I read here recently some speculation as to whether Hooded Merganser nests and breeds in Colorado. Forgive me if this isn't news.... But on a bike ride Sunday on the Bear Creek Trail, between Estes and Kipling (which I'm pretty sure is Jefferson County), we saw a female and one tiny little chick, both sitting on a log in the middle of the Bear Creek. This was right off the iron foot bridge/bike bridge about halfway between Estes and Kipling. No male in sight. There's also a Mallard pair with 5 new hatchlings. A pair of Muskrats also use this 'pond' by the bridge.
