In May 2019, I also had a female Hooded Merganser at South Platte Park with 
chicks. Interesting stuff

The second Colorado Breeding Bird Atlas had 8 Hooded Merganser records 
including 4 confirmations. 4 of the records including 1 confirmation were in 
priority blocks.

[cobirds] Hooded Merganser breeding in Colorado / Jeffco (I think)

[Dave Cameron]

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.
