[cobirds] Tundra Swan & Barrow's Goldeneye - Mesa County

Yesterday Nic Korte and I birded from Jerry Creek Reservoir SWA to Vega Lake SP as part of the annual Barrow's Goldeneye Count.  At a small pond on the south side of CO Hwy 330 a mile or so  beyond the entrance to Jerry Creek SWA, we observed an adult Tundra Swan and 5 Barrow's Goldeneye - 2 male and 3 female.

The location of the ponds is 5101-5115 CO HWY 330, Molina, Mesa County.  There is a large pullout on the north side of the road where one can park.  Birds are easily spooked on the pond, which is on the south side of the road.
