Hi all - not rarities, I know, but I saw my FOS bald eagles on the osprey platform on the east side of Cooley Lake (just west of Aspen Grove Mall on the north side of Mineral) - 2 adults. The Platte River had over 30 buffleheads between Mineral and Hampden. I also saw two hooded mergansers just south of Bowles. The highlight, though, was my FOS northern pintails just north of Bowles - two of them and a third just north of Belleview. All in, some nice, early-winter birds!
