[cobirds] Long-tailed Duck at Lake Hasty, Bent County

Birders,

The female Long-tailed Duck was seen again today on Lake Hasty (Bent
County). Some people have missed it, either because it sometimes seeks
refuge in the wide open spaces of nearby John Martin Reservoir, or
because it spends so much time under water. Cold nights partially freeze
Lake Hasty overnight most nights, and this lake may flash-freeze soon.

I usually look for it from the west side of Lake Hasty, in the south
lake. On your way in, be sure to look for Greater Roadrunners. Up to
four are in the Hasty Campground, often in grassy areas on the west side
of the campground.
