[cobirds] Tundra Swan [Stewart's Pond, Lasalle, Weld]

Hi all

I found the Tundra Swan but not the Eurasian Wigeon :-( ... couple others there looking as well.  Other spring arrivals:
  • Say's Phoebe [Yard, Nunn, Weld]
  • Common Grackle [Windsor Lake, Windsor, Weld]
  • Red-breasted Merganser [Windsor Lake, Windsor, Weld]
  • American Avocet [Three ponds across from Behren's Lake, Lasalle, Weld]

There were ~400+ American White Pelican(!) at Neff Lake.  At Glenmere Park I had a immature Red-tailed Hawk no more than 10 feet from me at eye level on a fence post.  It had picked up a strip of brown cloth and either (1) thought it was a snake or (2) was trying to make thinner strips for nesting.  It is by far the CLOSEST I've gotten to a hawk in the wild, pretty neat--it did not care about my presence at all.


Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
