Red-breasted Merganser / Jeffco

[Dave Cameron]

South Platte Res this afternoon, mostly frozen over but with some open water on the far East end (trail across the top horrifically muddy).  A small # of Com. Goldeneye, 1 pair Green-winged Teal (seemed odd on the big res), a dozen Ring-billed Gulls, 2 Bald Eagles sitting on the ice, and about 55 Common Merganser, mostly males.  1 Red-breasted male was associating with the flock.
