In-case anyone is interested, I'm leading a Aiken Audubon birding trip to
Pueblo this coming Saturday (22 Nov). This trip was suppose to happen last
Sunday, though that trip was postponed due to cold/snowy weather. If you need
details on this up-coming trip, please let me know. Some of the

There is still a small opening near the swim beach where I saw the surf scoter.
There is another opening out toward the middle where I saw the black and

Hi All,
Will Clary and I birded around El Paso County this morning.
We spent about an hour, from 7:30 to 8:30 at Prospect Lake. There is much
more open water than it sounds like there was yesterday, so birds were a
bit more spread out. In close to shore was the *Black Scoter*, diving
After checking on the still-present rarities (wwscoter, blkscoter, and

Went back to Chatfield Reservoir this morning, hoping something new blew
in, but by the looks of it, not much did, except Goldeneye numbers bumped
up quite a bit. At the Marina sand spit an adult *Greater White-fronted
Goose* flew in with a flock of Canadas. A female *Red-breasted

At 3:25 PM this afternoon, I discovered an apparent pure adult Common
Crane
associating with roughly 4,000 Sandhill Cranes on Goose Lake at Muleshoe
NWR. It didn't appear to have any leg bands, so I'm leaning wild origin,
At least three of the Tundra Swans were still present in the SW corner of
the lake as of 4:30 pm. Unfortunately, the wind, cold and more wind made

COBirders,
It has been a week since our magnificent vagrant was last seen here. It was
suggested that I keep the feeder out (and warmed) just in case she came
back, in case that gave us more information/insight, but there has been no
sight nor sound. She is gone.
I'm taking the feeder down for
