Many thanks to Glenn Walbek for finding the Red-throated Loon and the three Surf Scoters this morning at Cherry Creek Reservoir!
Larry Modesitt and I saw the loon despite the wind and waves at about 1-1:30 PM. John Drummond is looking at them now (2:40 PM) in 40 mph winds and suggests that one shelter behind a tree. This would not be a good idea if the wind picks up a lot. The loon must be about half-way between the east side picnic shelters and the west-side Lake Loop, because it looked very far away from either side to John and me! John says that the afternoon light makes loon viewing easier from the Lake Loop now. The 3 Surf Scoters were together, sleeping, in a small flotilla and much closer to the east side. They were on a line between the north end of the picnic shelters and the marina.
