[cobirds] Douglas County, Brant back at Chatfield, Greater White-fronted Goose at Redstone Park

So we set off at about midday to see if we could find the Brant that has been recently frequenting Redstone Park and found… a  lovely specked bellied Greater White-fronted Goose associating with Cackling and Canada Geese at the baseball field labeled #2 on the map printable from the Highlands Ranch Metro District’s website.  So, we went to Chatfield, where, at around 1PM, we found the Brant associating with bunches of Cackling and Canada Geese first just north, then flying just east of the model airplane field, and visible from the parking lot there.   A juvenile Glaucous Gull was on the ice shelf on the west side of the reservoir at Chatfield.
