[cobirds] Sunday Mountain Lakes

Lisa Edwards, Charlie Lawrence, Steve Larson and I run "the big loop" today
through the mountains to see what birds might be visiting the lakes.

Lake George:
Lots of Ring-necked Ducks (as John Drummond pointed out yesterday)
A variety of ducks.

Plamann Lake:
Few birds, nothing of note

Eleven Mile Reservoir (State Park):
Common Loon - 1
SURF SCOTER - 3 (two together, one separate - all seen from Sucker Cove)
Lots of American Coots (as usual for this time of year) and Western & Eared
Grebes

Spinney Mountain Reservoir (State Park):
Common Loon - 2
Lots of American Coots (as usual for this time of year)

Antero Reservoir (SWA):
WHITE-WINGED SCOTER - 1
Too windy to make out much else

Clear Creek Reservoir:
A few birds, nothing of note

Twin Lakes:
Nothing much

Mount Elbert Forebay:
Barrow's Goldeneye - 5

Turquoise Lake:
Very little

Dillon Reservoir (west Marina):
Barrow's Goldeneye - 26

Blue Water Waste Water Treatment Plant (Silverthorne):
No goldeneyes (all on Dillon Reservoir for the day?)


The number of ducks still seems a bit low, but then we've only had one
"decent" cold front this month!
