[cobirds] Larimer/Weld birds

Birding was generally slow in the Fort Collins-Loveland-Windsor area yesterday. Highlights included:
Red-breasted Mergansers near Windsor (FOS)
Lesser Black-backed Gull near Severance (gull flock at Weld CR78 & CR23)
Mute Swan pair at Portner Res in Fossil Creek Park in south Fort Collins

The Swans are young adults that show no signs of captive origin. If any readers have info about their origin, please advise.

Another interesting bird in the pond with the swans was a small female Canvasback among Redheads. It's small size raise the possibility of hybrid with Redhead.

Photos of the swans and canvasback are at www.pbase.com/quetzal/ebird. Opinions welcome.
