This morning at 8:45 I saw a female Long-tailed Duck on Terry Lake in Longmont, Boulder County. I could not find the Barrow's Goldeneye reported earlier, but it certainly could be there. Hundreds of Ring-billed Gulls, along with many Bonaparte's and some Herring Gulls are near the west shore of the lake and are seen best from 95th St about 2 miles north of Hwy 66.
Hundreds of Common Goldeneyes and Common Mergansers are also present, as well as Pied-bill Grebes, a few Horned Grebes, Buffleheads, Hooded Mergansers, and other species, exacerbating the problem of finding a single bird. It is certainly fun looking though, and there may be other uncommon species mixed in the bunch. Best viewed with a scope, although many birds are near the shore.
