Hi COBirders, I stopped by some of the open-water spots around Colo Spgs on a warm and calm day today. Big Johnson was 100% open, but the birds were WAY out there. Best birds (for me) were the previously mentioned White-winged Scoters (near the dam, in the corner), a female LONG-TAILED DUCK, Clark's and Western Grebes, Canvasback, and lots of Bufflehead, Hooded Mergansers, and Com Goldeneye. Near the dam also were an adult Bald Eagle, and a male N Harrier. (Lots of white-faced geese, too, many with what appeared to be tiny bills.)
Guess we'll see what transpires after the front arrives tonight. Good birding, Steve Brown Colorado Springs Sent from my iPad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
