[cobirds] Hamilton Res on 10Nov2023 (Larimer)

I just got back from Hamilton Reservoir and there is a PACIFIC LOON, two Common Loons and three LONG-TAILED DUCKS.  The loons were ne of the Overlook, sometimes all three together, sometimes the Pac Loon away from the Commons.  Too far off for photos.  The Long-tailed Ducks were just out from the Overlook at around 11:45am but worked their way over to the southwest corner.  Long-tailed Ducks in my world never look exactly like the field guides but I think these were all females, with two in basic and the darker one resembling alternate.  Attached photo shows the alternate bird and one basic.
