I have all the data compiled and it looks to have been a good count with a
number of lingering songbirds and a movement of waterbirds as the lakes up
north are FINALLY freezing up.
The Denver CBC was held on Saturday, December 18th with 118 observers in 35
parties and one feeder watcher. The
South Platte Renew (Littleton Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant)
discharges their treated effluent into the South Platte just upstream from
the Grant Frontier Park. Like Metro Wastewater Plant and the Centennial
Wastewater Treatment Plant, they provide warm water in the winter that can

Hey Hugh
Look to the area of the river with all the ducks and see if there is warm
water/or other fluids entering just above that point. There are numerous
stormwater inflows into the Platte along that stretch. I'll do more
research and see what i can find.
You see that in dramatic fashion at
One year on the Pikes Peak CBC we noted turkey tracks on snow that had
fallen that day. Because of tracks on fresh snow we deemed them countable

Urling & I surveyed the southern section of the South Platte on the Urban
CBC today. A plethora of ducks!
We counted 466 Shovelers, 225 Mallards, and, the best, 160 Buffleheads. 12
duck species. They included one striking male Barrow's Goldeneye, located just
south of Florida Ave.
