El Paso County: Big Johnson Reservoir - Tundra Swans

[Aaron Driscoll]

Friday afternoon, arrived at BJR around 3:15 pm. 

Bill M., John D., and Leonard L. already on site.

They pointed out the two beautiful Tundra Swans and the White-winged Scoters.  They also found a Long-tailed Duck.  Also of interest to me were the three Red-breasted Mergansers.  Lifer for me.  Thanks Bill and John for pointed them out.

The two swans lifted off around 3:30 pm.  Headed SW towards Fort Carson.  Didn't see them again.

After I left at 4:00 pm (I was frozen by this time), three Tundra Swans came back (see ebird).
