Nice photos, Derek. If this pale-bellied brant is an "Atlantic Brant", could this oddball large Canada Goose be an "Atlantic Canada Goose"? I suspect there are no previous records. There is certainly something odd about this bird, and it doesn't seem to be interested in hanging out with the loca

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I was out there early this morning and saw it, along with the Cattle Egret. No pics of the Jaeger, but the Egret was a cooperative model! Nancy Rynes Lafayette, CO http://www.flickr.com/photos/63892538@N04/10524014793/in/set-72157632085097698 > -- You rece

Friday afternoon I set out for some Saturday birding in the Pueblo area with John Vanderpoel. First we stopped at Chatfield State Park to try for Pomarine Jaeger which we found floating quietly by itself east of Fisherman's Point. Oddly it was soon joined by a group of California Gulls that ha
