Despite the cold, which I actually enjoy, I went for a walk today in the -5 degree wealth along the South Platte River, between Bowles and the Northern Wildlife Area, which is near Reynolds's Landing park. Despite the cold I wound up with an average bird count, 22 species. Lots and lots of Cackling geese and mallards. There was 10 Greater Scaups in the usual spot, which is just upstream of Reynolds's Landing and just outside of the Northern Wildlife Area's north entrance, the river pools here before a boat shoot and the Scaups have always loved this area for some reason. Sometimes they are in the Wildlife Area.
And yes, I know I am crazy. But I was nice and bundled up and stayed warm.
Here is my check list https://ebird.org/checklist/S81422833
And a photo of the party frozen river, looking up river from the long bridge. The ducks are two Hooded Mergansers, male and female, and a Common Goldeneye female.
Good (frozen) birding
