[cobirds] Adams County Red Phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius) and Larimer County Brant ( Branta bernicla)!!!

Myself and Jack Bellomo were able to observe both the Adam's County Red Phalarope and the Larimer County Brant.  The phalarope was in the previously described location working the shoreline closest to road.  When we arrived quite a few birders were present and the bird gave great looks.  A White-Faced Ibis, Ferruginous Hawk, and fly-over Norther Harrier made the experience even nicer. 

We then traveled to the Loveland location of the Brant which was observed on Hout's Reservior from the parking lot at the end of Medford Drive.  The bird is obviously in the company of a Canada Goose and was joined in the reservoir by at least 20 Western Grebes, a Common Merganser, 9 Franklin's Gulls and probably 8-10 Lesser Scaups.  Both were good finds and were very easy to locate and identify.
