Birded Teller Lake 5, Walden Ponds and Boulder Creek at 75th St this morning. At Teller Lake and Walden, water was barely 5-10% open. At Cottonwood and Teller 5, ducks were clustered in the limited open water. There was a single male Hooded Merganser at Cottonwood. Couldn't find the female but may still be there.
Highlight was a singing American Dipper at the bridge over Boulder Creek. There was also a pair of Red-tailed Hawks in courtship flight.
