Greetings All,
Sorry, I have been trying to set up household and learn an array of new systems. My first two attempts to post to COBIRDS failed, due to my own misapprehensions (in other words, I have been a dunderhead). On 19 March, Nick Komar and I visited a number of sites in Larimer and Weld Counties. Highlights are below: Highlights Mallard x N Pintail (1) Duck L Lesser Scaup (850) Fossil Crk Res Lesser Scaup (460) Duck L Greater Scaup (2 females) Fossil Crk Res. Common Goldeneye (175) Fossil Crk Res. Gadwall (650) Fossil Crk Res. Red-breasted Merganser (2) Warren L. Red-breasted Merganser (3) Fossil Crk Res. Red-breasted Merganser (4) Windsor L. Horned Grebe (29) Warren L. Horned Grebe (62) L Loveland Horned Grebe (145) Fossil Crk Res. American Coot (325) L Loveland Franklin’s Gull (1) N Weld Landfill Franklin’s Gull (1) Black Hollow Res. Thayer's Gull (1) Warren L. Thayer's Gull (1) L Loveland Thayer's Gull (4) N Weld Landfill Thayer's Gull (1) Black Hollow Res. LBBG (ad) Black Hollow Res. Glaucous Gull (1-2 yr) Black Hollow Res. Ring-billed Gull (20,000) Black Hollow Res. The gull horde at Black Hollow was impressive, but since it is private property, we could not scrutinize the birds nearly as well as we wished we could have. Also, on 17 March, I had a mostly basic-plumaged Least Sandpiper at the nw. corner of Boulder Res. and an eastern WB Nuthatch in n. Hygiene.
