[cobirds] Red-throated Loon - Pueblo Res, Pueblo Co. 10/9 (and 10/3)

A breeding plumage Red-throated Loon is hanging out with Western and Clark's Grebes, at Pueblo Reservoir, Pueblo County.  I first saw it at a very long distance on Oct 3rd, and saw it closer this morning.  I scoped it from the SE side of Pueblo Reservoir, looking across the lake to the north side.  The bird is likely closer to the Sailboard launching area on the north side.  The light however is always good from the SE side, so I scope the lake from there, and usually see things I can't see from the north side, because of the light conditions.  A few other things, a first year Herring Gull, two Lesser Black-backed Gulls, three Franklin's Gulls, two Horned Grebes were all seen from the South east Side of the Reservoir.  While scoping the lake, a little bird was flying over the water, I'm pretty sure I could see yellow undertail coverts, I kind of think the bird could have been a Palm Warbler.  Who knows where it was going.
