The Long-tailed Duck reported originally by Bill Schmoker was still present
today as of 3:00pm. I spent more time today studying this bird and found out
that I can't tell what age or sex it is. I do know that it isn't an adult

Just a quick note to say that I just saw at least one pair (one yellow and one
pink) of WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS in Grandview Cemetery, Fort Collins, Larimer,
west end of Mountain Avenue. They were with a group of about a dozen Red
Crossbills, feeding in Colorado Blue Spruce in Section E. They
The female White-winged Scoter found yesterday by Ted Floyd was still present
this morning at around 11:30. It was still associating with the Common
Goldeneyes and Common Mergansers on the Northwest side of the lake, but the

interested yesterday and today, 11-19 & 11-20, There were 80+ cranes

There were also 3 Common Loons.
