business at 7926 Platte Canyon Drive. Drive to the end of the parking lot and
look east through the wrought iron gate.
The Tundra Swan
Six swans have just returned to the reservoir at 3:45pm.

The Swans on South Platte Reservoir and the one on Blackrock lake are no
longer there, but I was able to find a Swan on Cooley Lake, visible from
Mineral in the northeast section of the lake on some open water. I think it
may be the Tundra swan that flew from Blackrock late earlier today.

Just to update, at least on of the swans is a Tundra Swan. Thanks Joe
Roller for pointing this out to me. Pretty cool to get to see two species

On the map, it looks like Fossil Creek (the actual creek and not the

Many years ago I noticed that adult swans standing on ice
were differentiated by leg and feet size, especially when they (the swans,
not the legs) were standing near each other.
Trumpeter: thick legs and feet like swim fins
Tundra: thinner legs, smaller feet.
