[cobirds] 1st, spring Hummer,Jefferson cty.

[cobirds] Good birds at Crown Hill Lake (Jeffco)

I went looking for yesterday's white-headed raptor at Main res today, and did not re-find it, but we've decided with 99% certainty that it was a spring juvenile light-morph Swainson's, and not a Krider's. I ran into Art Hudak at Crown Hill later, and we enjoyed nice looks at: 1 Clark's Greb
