Depending on the timing of our sightings, he/she either added or lost three others. When I saw them at Union they were definitely ground bound, along with some gulls right next to them.
I am curious as to why my Ross's sighting isn't showing up on eBird? It was marked as rare so I added a description. Just checked a few minutes ago and it's still not showing up at Union Reservoir. There was another sighting of a Ross's just a mile or so to the west as a flyover, and it got approved same day. Anyone either know why that is, or experienced a similar situation - same species being approved on one checklist, but not another?

I braved the wind and snow this morning around 9 am and headed out to Jim Hamm Nature Area and Union Reservoir (Longmont). Yeah....nope. Winds were 30 mph + so didn't last too long. About 700-800 ducks on Jim Hamm (mostly Redheads), 2 Canvasbacks, 4 Hooded Mergansers and Great Blue Heron staying low in the reeds. Drove the road on the north side of Union and saw 4 Green-winged Teal and surprise! 5 Ross's Geese (one dark adult) hunkered down on the mud flats. Pretty nasty weather today.Jay HutchinsLongmont, CO
