[cobirds] Re: South Platte Resivoir Swans (And Black Scouter) Contue (Arapahoe County)

The Swans on South Platte Reservoir and the one on Blackrock lake are no longer there, but I was able to find a Swan on Cooley Lake, visible from Mineral in the northeast section of the lake on some open water. I think it may be the Tundra swan that flew from Blackrock late earlier today. 

The Black Scoter, American Dipper and Audubon Warbler continued, but I was unable to find the Harris's Sparrow

Heres a checklist with pics of the Swan.

Just to update, at least on of the swans is a Tundra Swan. Thanks Joe Roller for pointing this out to me. Pretty cool to get to see two species of swans in a single visit.

The six Trumpeter Swans (I though it should be seven swans a swimming) continue at the South East end. There is also a female Black Scouter still present, mostly by her self away from the other ducks. Me and three other birds were present and got good looks at the swans, they even climbed on the ice and we got a great view of one with a rare yellow leg coloring (but photos showed it was still a Trumpeter Swan). Jefferson County Cove end is frozen over.
Good start to the morning,
