Can anyone confirm if this report is correct! A pair of Tufted Ducks?

Looking at the rest of the checklist---it didn't exactly inspire confidence!

I think this may be the same Anon Birder that posted seeing a Eurasian Wigeon about a month ago -- that no one else reported.  So I would agree.

Given that in the comments for Tufted Duck, it says they were in the creek, and although I'm not very experienced with sea ducks, I would assume that if there was a Tufted Duck in Colorado, it would hit a reservoir, not a creek. My guess is that it was confused for a pair of male Ring-necked Ducks/Lesser Scaup?

The birds are happy, and so am I

Nothing about this report, especially the anonymous nature of it, and the fact that 2 birds were reported from the wrong habitat, rings true or should lead us to consider it.
