[cobirds] No scoters or Long-tailed Duck at Douglas Res (Larimer) on 11/26

A check of Douglas Res in Larimer County north of Fort Collins today showed the White-winged Scoter, Black Scoter, and Long-tailed Duck present over much of the past week have apparently moved on.  A few Bonaparte's Gulls and fair number of Common Goldeneyes persist at the extreme north end.  The res is mostly free of ice at this time.

This res should NOT be ignored, however, as it has produced Pomerine Jaeger, uncommon loons, and Snow Buntings (west side parking lot) at this time of year.
