The RED-THROATED LOON reported earlier is still present at the Rawhile Power Plant water supply called Hamilton Reservoir, west of I-25 Exit 288 on Buckeye Road. It was seen today about noon from the overlook on the south side of the res looking straight north to the plant with the big smokestack.
Also present along the dam (east of the overlook) was a much bigger, darker Common Loon. Per usual for this res heavily infused with warm water from the power plant turbines, the res is completely ice free and I noticed several grebes and goldeneyes eating fish. So maybe the prey base has improved from recent years. Hopefully the loons will stick around for the CBC.
