[cobirds] Long-tailed Duck, Valco Pond, Freemont Co.

Late this afternoon there was a non-breeding Long-tailed Duck swimming on the open water at the east Valco Pond in Canon City.  Standing on the ice were twenty-one Gr. White-fronted Geese.  Dozens of Common Goldeneyes were on the water and hundreds of geese were standing on the ice.

 

Earlier this afternoon at Rouse park I found a Hermit Thrush and a White-winged Dove in the pines around the east parking lot.  A few Yellow-rumps were in the pine trees.
