Deb Callahan reported a Brant at the Monte Vista Refuge today. My wife and I went down there and saw it as well. It is an adult nigricans phase, and can be seen at the most southern turnout on the west side on Hwy 15, as it was feeding in the fields about 60 yards away. One of a few San Luis Valley records for the species.
Also be advised, that the Long-tailed Duck at Blanca Wetlands was observed on a special field trip for the Crane Festival, but otherwise, is in a closed area and unavailable for viewing.
