[cobirds] Long-tailed Duck - Denver
As has already been reported, the Long-tailed Duck is still on the river by the aquarium. When I saw it a little after 1:30, it was just SW of the Speer Blvd bridge, between Centennial Park and Fishback Park. The weather was completely miserable this morning and I had decided to just stay in. I hadn't slept more than an hour after my night shift, I was getting over a cold, it was snowing, cold, and there was heavy fog. My camera lens doesn't work well in low light, either. Add all that up and it was a perfect day to sit on the sofa in front of the TV.and then the sun came out for a moment. So here was my dilemma: Sick, tired, cold, wet, foggy, snow, low light conditions for my camera VS 6 minutes of sun and a pretty bird. What would you do (he asked in his best Liam Neeson voice)? I need some kind of intervention, because it wasn't a contest.

I suppose it left with this cold weather, but Cindy Yeast just sent me 2 photos of a juvenile Long-tailed Duck that she saw in City Park, Denver, on Nov. 29. Either Duck Lake or Ferril Lake. Anyone who goes near City Park might try to look for it. Hugh Kingery Franktown, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] Long-tailed Duck - Denver
Hi All, Stopped at Overland Pond Park (Florida Ave. S. Platte River) around 11 A.M. this morning and walked north. About halfway to the footbridge I spotted the female Long-tailed Duck flying toward me. Just after she went by she landed in the river and started preening then commenced diving a short time later. Great looks! Mike Henwood Morrison Jefferson County -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] Long-tailed Duck, Denver, S. Platte at Florida
There was a Long-tailed Duck on the South Platte in Denver today (Sunday) between Florida Ave. and the pedestrian bridge 200 yards north. This could be the same individual spotted a week ago by the Audubon Group. Jerry Cech Denver -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.
