Hello, Birders. This morning, Sun., Nov. 22, I saw a strikingly white *Aechmophorus grebe* on Baseline Reservoir, Boulder County. When I first glimpsed the bird in my scope--it was way out there--I thought it was a swan. Then it swam next to a *western grebe.* It's a beautiful bird, that's for

In the enormous flock of white cheeked geese around Dodd Reservoir, or in the field between the Diagonal Highway and Niwot Road, there are about a dozen white geese that without a scope look like snow geese. The sound is quite extraordinary from the thousands of geese. Sent from my iPhone Elen
