A check of Hamilton Reservoir off Buckeye Road by the Rawhide Power Plant in northern Larimer County showed at least 6 Tundra Swans continuing in the southwest corner, as viewed from the Observation Area above the south shore. When I first arrived, two were much closer than usual about half way from the extreme southwest corner and the Observation Area. Both clearly showed a yellow lore spot at 20X. All the swans appear to be adults but I am not absolutely certain about that.
A large concentration of white-cheeked geese is stuffed along the northwest shore. Otherwise, the gravy of the situation is a smattering of expected diving and dabbling waterfowl including a few Pumpkin Pie(d)-billed Grebes, a probable sleeping dollop of Homemade Whipped Pelican on the far west shore, and a lone Great Blue Heron standing on one drumstick on the northside retention pond wall.
