[cobirds] Pueblo Reservoir 1/10

Hi all,

This afternoon, I went out to Pueblo Reservoir for a couple of hours.  I saw another birder (Dan Stinger) at the South Shore Marina.  We saw the adult Great Black-backed Gull and first year Glaucous Gull on the South Marina tires.  Over in the south east corner of the reservoir, we added an adult and first year Lesser Black-backed Gull and what appeared to be a Glaucous-winged x Herring Gull hybrid on the beach.  Over at Sailboard Launching area, we saw Red-throated, Pacific, and two Common Loons, also two Double-crested Cormorants, a Clark's Grebe, along with Western, Eared, and Horned Grebes.  We saw saw a 3rd year, an adult, and 1st year Lesser Black-backed Gulls, an adult Mew Gull, and a male Barrow's Goldeneye.  A pretty productive couple of hours of birding.  The Red-throated Loon was close enough for photos!
