Hello Birders, After wrapping up our fruitless American Woodcock search on CSU campus, Andy Bankert and I continued north with the intent of locating the Tundra Swans reported at North Poudre Reservoir #4 yesterday. The reservoir is frozen over and no swans were present.
Stopping by Douglas Reservoir was much better with one Tundra Swan (that subsequently flew off due to the noisy boaters) and a Common Loon. The Tri Lakes area also had a Common Loon and a dozen Killdeer and nothing else of interest. College Lake (CSU property) held the all-time county high-count of 61 Hooded Mergansers. A stop by Horsetooth Reservoir produced a few gulls (roughly 1300) including a Thayer's, but no Trumpeter Swans. Seeing we didn't check the northern end of Horsetooth, the swans could always be up there.
