2011-02-15 Thread Karl Stecher Jr.
After an absence of about 2 1/2 weeks, the Ross's goose has returned to the west side marina at Cherry Creek SP/Arapahoe (AM 2/15). It is in the same spot, fairly near the shore, seen from the south side of the large gray building. Previous behavior has shown it to leave to feed a half hour to
