[cobirds] McIntosh Lake (Boulder): Long-tailed Duck YES and Bonaparte's Gulls

Hi Everyone—

 

I birded McIntosh Lake in Longmont around noon today. The Long-tailed Duck that Waltman reported was still present, in the middle of the lake with mergansers and goldeneyes (the common of each). Gulls were also present, including Bonaparte’s (2), Ring-billed (maybe 200), California (2), and Herring (2).

 

Yesterday I went down to Prospect Lake and enjoyed all the scoters (they’re still chowing down on crayfish). I went home by way of US-24 over to Park County. A stop on CR 33 (Boreas Pass Road) got me 4 Pine Grosbeaks.
