[cobirds] Fwd: King Eiders

[Rachel Kolokoff Hopper]

News from Wyoming. Keep an eye on our open Colorado lakes! Hi Rachel, I checked at Lake Hattie this morning and the eiders were still there. However, it was in the single digits last night and calm, so a fair amount of the middle of the lake has started to freeze. It depends on the wind, but with the continued cold weather in the forecast I wouldn't be surprised if Hattie freezes up completely in the next few days. I probably won't go back out there, but I'll let you know if I hear from anyone else who does.  Good birding, Don On Nov 13, 2022, at 9:15 AM, Donald Jones <dwilbertjo...@gmail.com> wrote: Jonathan Lautenbach, who originally found the eiders yesterday, reports that they are still there this morning. Yesterday we viewed them from the spit in the middle of the lake (41.23842° N, 105.93301° W), this morning Jonathan says that they are more easily visible from the westernmost access point on the south side of the lake at the end of County Road 45 (41.23557° N, 105.94265° W). There’s another public overlook between these two that might be worth checking as well: 41.23619° N, 105.93934° W. All three of these spots seem a bit sketchy access-wise if you’ve never been there before, but they’re all public property.  Good birding, Don Jones Laramie  -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
