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.
