[cobirds] Park County Lakes

CO birders :

     Today I lead a small group from Fort Collins around the Park County Mountain Lakes . The wind was strong and gusty all day making conditions very difficult. Highlights :

Lake George : Good numbers of waterfowl including 100 + Ring-necked Duck.

Eleven Mile Canyon : McCown's Longspur , first spotted by Nick Komar,  ( first County Record ? ) , photographed , first year male associating with Horned Larks along entrance road to Roger's Mountain access , south side of Reservoir , Clark's Grebe .

Spinney Mountain : Common Loon , Herring Gull .

Antero : Common Loon .

 

No Scoters , no Goldeneye , just 2 loons.

 

Rough-legged Hawk ( 3 light phase ) , Golden Eagle ( 2 adults ) and Bald Eagle ( 3 rd year imm ) were our best raptors .

Hope the wind cooperates better tomorrow as I will be going back again.
