[cobirds] Re: Possible Barrow's Goldeneye (f) at Confluence Park, Denver

All,

This morning on my way into work I saw two female goldeneyes under the Speer Bridge at Confluence Park, Denver.

One of them appeared to have a yellow bill, indicating to me a female barrow's.

I didn't have my binoculars as I was on my bike.

There are also 8-10 hooded mergansers, and the 2 dippers continue in the vicinity as they have been for a month or more...as well as numerous gadwall, and some gulls. Later on in the evening, there were more birds congregating south of the bridge.

Confluence park is located near the REI at I-25 and Speer, accessed from 15th St. on to Platte Road. You can park in the REI parking lot for <1hr or continue under the Speer Bridge to the lot along Water Street along the Platte River Trail.
