Timnath Reservoir, Larimer Co.; March 10

[Scott Baron]

Hi,

I birded Timnath Reservoir late this afternoon from the south side, the west side and the east side.  There were at least 15 species of waterfowl present, including hundreds of Cackling geese.  I was looking into the sun from the east shore so I probably missed some species.

Highlights:

1 Snow Goose (white morph) on west shore

2 Barrow's Goldeneye (1m, 1f), easily seen from parking lot of the open space (south shore)

5 Double-crested Cormorants swimming close together near the east shore

Specific locations: south shore (Timnath Public Open Space off of County Rd. 40), distant view of west shore from road (South County Rd. 3E near the old, narrow bridge) and the east shore (new subdivision at intersection of Majestic View Dr. and Thunderview Dr.)

Take care,
