Hi Just back from a 4 day trip to Trappers Lake, Garfield Co.
On June 28, in the middle of the lake saw a train of small ducks, 4-5 ducks following a leader, as one would expect to see with a family of ducks traveling through the water. My 7X binocs just couldn’t confirm any field marks. The ducks were smaller than a nearby Mallard. Conjecture implied a bufflehead-like head shape. Since Common Goldeneye is not expected to breed in Colorado that left the Barrow’s as a logical choice. Of course it is feasible those ducks were something totally different is also likely. Anyone know if Barrow’s is confirmed nesting at Trapper’s Lake? Bob Righter Denver CO -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
