Weld County, Union Reservoir, 10/31/2009: Red-necked Grebe, 1 winter plumage. Maybe the same bird reported by Todd Deininger on 10/25. American White Pelican, 4 Red-breasted Merganser, 1 I did not find any loons. Boulder County, 10/31/2009: Ish Reservoir: Prairie Falcon, 1 adult Larimer/Boulder County Line, 1/2 mile east of Ish Reservoir Prairie Falcon, 1 adult, likely the same bird as above. 55th & Monarch, 1/2 mile N. of Boulder Reservoir: Six-mile Reservoir: Common Merganser, 1 male Prairie Falcon, 1 adult. Urban Boulder, 30th and Walnut: Golden Eagle, 1 adult circling above the shopping centers. This bird may have been visible from Folsom Field, and would have provided a better sight than the CU football team.
I searched NE Boulder County extensively in hopes of finding longspurs, but didn't even find any Horned Larks. The bear returned to our yard last night for the fourth night in a row, leaving a pile of poop and tracks in the snow, but all my feeders were in the garage this time. I hope he gets discouraged.
