[cobirds] Long-tailed Duck in Bent County, CO

Birders,

Aside from maybe 50,000 white geese, winter has been slow to show at John Martin Reservoir in SE Colorado. There are still Common Loons, Bonaparte's Gulls, Double-crested Cormorants, and lots of Western Grebes still present on the reservoir proper, but very few migrant and wintering ducks.

A pleasant surprise was a very cooperative female Long-tailed Duck on Lake Hasty. It was in the northwest corner of the south lake, close to shore.
