[cobirds] Huerfano and Las Animas Cos. Birding

This morning I visited Lake Trinidad SP (Las Animas) and was amazed by the variety of ducks, loons, grebes, etc on the water.  The highlights were:
 
    Common Loon - 2
    Red-throated Loon - 1
    Red-necked Grebe - 2
    Surf Scoter - 1
    White-winged Scoter - 1
    Long-tailed Duck - 1
 
This is the best birding that I've ever experienced at this location by miles.  Hunters were present.
 
Yesterday I stopped at Lathrop SP (Huerfano) which was teeming with hundreds of gulls and ducks.  The highlights here:
 
    Barrow's Goldeneye - 1 out of 100+ Common Goldeneyes.
    Red-necked Grebe - 2
    Long-tailed Duck - 1
