The Fort Collins CBC was held Saturday Dec. 20th with over 70 participants. Preliminary results indicate that 95 species were found with a few species being seen only for the third or fourth time. Additionally, thus far we have 3 count week species. Of note, a lone Sandhill Crane was found northeast of town and a Vesper Sparrow east. A Mexican Duck, Mallard subspecies, was seen on Sharp Point Pond (the first pond south of Prospect on left after turning on Sharp Point), easy to pick out when you could find it among the 500 Mallards at the pond. New high records were close to double prior records for Cackling Geese (10,128), Redheads (115), Hooded Mergansers (30), Western Grebes (11), Eastern Screech-Owls (13), and Great Horned Owls (43). A few other high records were set. Several areas seemed really slow, while others were really good - dynamics changed a bit and was noticed by several long time participants. However, it was a great day and everyone seemed to have a truly enjoyable day! Thanks to all those that participated - it was a great group to be a part.
