[cobirds] Aurora Reservoir, Arapahoe County

2021-12-24 Thread Brian Johnson
Today I made the drive all the way out to Aurora Reservoir. I first stopped 
at the swim beach and had the misfortune to be contending with the sun. The 
lake was also unfrozen leading to a lot of water to search. The sun glare 
was so bad I wound up moving over to the east parking lot. I met Jim (did 
not get a last name) at the fishing dock and two other birds (didn't get 
their names) before moving over to the east parking lot and Jim followed me 
over. There we we meet Diann Roberts. Diann got use on tow *Rose's Goose* 
and a *Snow Goose,* one each. Also present was a white Cackling Goose, 
likely leucistic, amid the thousands of Cackling Gees. I had not yet found 
the Red Necked Grebe or any of the loons so I moved back to the swim beach 
hoping the sun glare was not as bad.
I was in luck and it was not so bad. Diann had also moved back to this spot 
and was able to help me find the two *Common Loons* along with the *Red-necked 
Grebe* (which was near a Western Grebe) and two *White Winged Scooters*. I 
never did find the Pacific Loon.
The Red-necked Grebe was exiting for me. I had been in south Texas recently 
where I saw Least Grebes. With the Red-necked Grebe I have now see every 
North American nesting grebe in on calendar year, a first for me. Thanks 
Diann for helping me on the grebes.
Marry Christmas
Good birding,
Brian Johnson,
Englewood Co

[cobirds] Two Littleton area birds - JeffCo

2021-12-24 Thread David Suddjian
A rare December House Wren has been at Ken Caryl Valley, in an area of
private open space along Dutch Creek. I found it with Pat Cullen on Dec 18,
and it was still there on subsequent visits through yesterday Dec 23 at
least.

A light morph imm. Rough-legged Hawk was circling at Kipling x
C470 yesterday Dec 23. Rough-leggeds are decidedly infrequent in the
Littleton area.
