Lake Minnequa, Pueblo Co. 2/6 swan & scoter

[Brandon K. Percival]

Leon Bright and I were over at Lake Minnequa in the central part of Pueblo around 11am, and saw the adult Tundra Swan and a female/immature White-winged Scoter.  

The best place to park when it is sunny out, in the morning, is the overflow Hospital parking lot, south of St. Mary Corwin Hospital, along Lake Ave.  This is the east side of the lake, looking west.  The light from here in the afternoon looking west, is probably not the best.  The scoter was straight out from this parking lot and the swan was toward the south east corner, with some Canada Geese.  I think this is probably the same White-winged Scoter that has been at Pueblo Reservoir since late December.

 

Good birding,

Swan and scoter still present around noon today.  Both were near the southwest corner.
