Hey Joe, it's not even close! Maybe it's a high count for October, but several of us counted and recounted 128 COLO at Highline S.P. in Mesa County on the evening of 09 April 2009. The number of COLO had been increasing all day long, but our maximum tally occurred at dusk. In hindsight, I *wish* I had returned the following morning to see if there were even more! An ensuing discussion on wsbn and cobirds was quite a thread, as everyone chimed in to offer collective terms that could be applied to that many loons, e.g., "loonybin" and all sorts of other colorful terms, wish I could recall some of them, eh?

Is 23 Common Loons a high count for Colorado? J D Birchmeier's report of 23 Common Loons on a private lake west of Erie, documented by photos, is way more loons than I have heard of for one area. I chatted with JD and raised the question "could these have been cormorants?" but silly me, they were photo-documented loons of the Gavia immer type! I'll through this out on the "can you top this" list. Joe Roller, Denver -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
