[cobirds] Black Scoter still at Timnath Res (Larimer)

A of yesterday at 4pm the scoter was still present and close to the south shore. No sign of the many Surf Scoters that were seen on the day before Halloween, but winds were nasty so who knows. Also the Brant was at still at Houts in Loveland at 5:30pm, sadly I think it will be it's last stop...

Re: [cobirds] Black Scoter still at Timnath Res (Larimer)

Just to clarify my first post today. I was insinuating the Brant could die there. It had a slight limp yesterday and has been in the same 100 yard radius the last few times I've been out there. I could be totally wrong in saying this but it just seems like easy prey... Of course I hope this is not

After searching for three hours this morning, I was finally able to re-find the Black Scoter at Timnath Reservoir today (Saturday) around noon. It was in the northeast end, a long scope view from the old concrete boat ramp on the northern part of the west side. Thanks, Kevin Keirn Fort

[cobirds] El Paso --- Snow Bunting and Long-tailed Ducks

COBirders, I spent a few hours at Big Johnson reservoir this morning and while standing there I had AMERICAN PIPITs, HORNED LARKs and a single SNOW BUNTING.  The Snow Bunting was calling and flying northwest with the flock.  I have no idea if the bird will make it back to the reservoir or not.
