There is a black Brant at Fort Collins City Park (Sheldon Lake). It is hiding within approximately 500 white-cheeked geese and is similar in size to a cackling. Last time I saw it, it was in the northeast corner.

The Brant located and reported by Dave Leatherman on 11/19 is present again this afternoon at Sheldon Lake in City Park, Fort Collins. Seen by many but I didn't see any updates here.

Found a (another?) Brant at the pond near the entrance to the ELC (CSU Environmental Learning Center) around noon today. In among the 2000+ Canada/Cackling Geese. Also with one Greater White-fronted and at least 3 Snow Geese. Took off (towards Rigden Reservoir) before I could get photos. Maybe the same as the Sheldon Lake (City Park) bird? or maybe a different individual?
