[cobirds] Re: Yellow-billed Loon - Chatfield Reservoir - Dougco

Hello Ira,

Congratulations on the Yellow-billed Loon photos.  Tomorrow, Jane Stulp and I are planning a trip from Lamar to Chatfield to hopefully see this great bird which be a lifer for both, so cross your fingers for us!  We appreciate the updates as we are not terribly familiar with the Chatfield area; if you are out tomorrow and see it again, we will be checking COBIRDs regularly.  Look forward to seeing your pictures. Thanks again for the updates.

Birders,

Here is a follow up to my earlier post.  After I posted, I lost track of the YB Loon for a while.  I and David and Sharon went to the spit and we relocated it much farther west than where I first saw it.  It was in Jeffco at that point.  It then moved to the east and much closer over the next 45 - 60 minutes and I got some almost decent shots (not near as good as those previously posted) that I will try and post later on smugmug.

While we were watching the YB Loon, Patrick spotted 2 birds behind it and those turned out to be 2 Common Loons.  They also got much closer.  I left at about 3 pm and the YB Loon was moving into the Plum Creek Delta area and the Common Loons were headed west.
