Scott, did you know that the scam popup appears after we have completed the 
survey, with the new standard offer of things for "free," but with "just 
pay shipping?"

Re: [cobirds] Long-tailed Duck, Luna Reservoir, Adams Co

[Joe Roller]

When one is not sure where a birding location is located, there are two
good resources.
Go to Colorado County birding website https://coloradocountybirding.org
Click on  "Birding Locations" then "Search for a locations"
Luna Res is there.

Or maybe even easier, on eBird go to "Explore Hotspots"
Fill in the bubble with the first few letters, eg, "Luna Re" and you get
a map and a list of all birds seen there in the past, recent trips there,
etc.

LUNA Reservoir  is not an official name, but a Cool nickname, so if you
search on Google, you won't
find the Luna Res in Weld County, but rather you are directed to a nice
reservoir in Spain, farther east.

RE: [cobirds] Long-tailed Duck, Luna Reservoir, Adams Co

[William H Kaempfer]

Ha!  I've been waiting for this question for years.  

I named LUNA a long time ago, it stands for Large UN-named Artificial 
reservoir, because it is large, unnamed and artificial!  Tony Leukering liked 
the name, and it stuck.  LUNA Reservoir is the "official" eBird hotspot name 
for the place with 125 species observes--more than anything within miles.

It is actually a Thornton water supply reservoir viewable from Weld County Road 
11 north of CR 168 (aka the Adams-Weld County Line).  From its NW corner it has 
good views but usually into  the sun and distant.  There is frequently some 
open water and due to the absence of human presence, almost always lots and 
lots of waterfowl and gulls.

And I apologize, it came up as Weld County. I thought it was in Adams. It's
just north of Adams.
