[cobirds] Pueblo birding 2/12

Here is what I saw, with other birders today at Lake Pueblo State Park, Pueblo County:

Highlights this morning in the SWA on the NW Side of Pueblo Reservoir, west to the ice line, west of Turkey Creek:

13 Black Scoters (5 males, 8 female type) birds
2 Long-tailed Ducks (seen at the same time, for sure two birds -- I'm now more sure there were two birds present on Jan 19th, as well)
1 male Barrow's Goldeneye
1 Red-necked Grebe
1 Bufflehead x Common Goldeneye (hybrid)

also, Red-breasted Mergansers, Horned, Eared and Western Grebes

Highlights during the afternoon at Lake Pueblo SP (below the dam and South Shore Marina):

1 Black Phoebe (below the dam)
1 adult Trumpeter Swan (below the dam)
1 adult Lesser Black-backed Gull (below the dam)
1 adult Great Black-backed Gull (Shore Marina)
1 first year Glaucous Gull (Shore Marina)

A pretty fun day around Pueblo Reservoir, it is always nice to see and bird with Hugh and Urling Kingery.  They were hoping to see some Black Scoters, and they certainly saw them and a lot more!
