Larimer county, of Hooded mergansers, buffleheads, and Golden eyes and more

[Libby Edwards]

On the large pond just east of Lions Park along the bike trail in Fort Collins, there was a group of female and male bufflehead, about three of each, at the east end of the pond. Near the pole in the middle of the pond were several male and female hooded mergansers diving. As one would dive and come back up, it was harassed immediately by a gull, then it would dive back down. It did not seem that worried by the gulls. The gulls seemed more worried they were not getting anything. Scattered around the pond were common golden eyes, and two pied billed grebes.
