[cobirds] South Platte Reservoir - Surf Scoters - Arapahoe County

Hoping that the previously reported Surf Scoter on South Platte Reservoir was at least close to the Jefferson County line, Jeff Dawson, Mackenzie and I visited the reservoir this noon.  Although the surf scoter was still present, it was still solidly in Arapahoe County.  However, we were surprised to find that it has been joined by another (thereby doubling the chance that one, or both, may eventually cross that imaginary line into Jefferson County?).
For the moment, however, the best viewing location continues to be the southeast corner of the reservoir.   Even there, a telescope is more than helpful.
