Probable Yellow-billed Loon, Adams County

[Adam Vesely]

Hi everyone,

After consultation, there appears to be a good candidate for a Yellow-billed Loon in Adams County. Bird has been present for several days, and is still in the same location as of this morning (11/5). The bird can be found in "Cell No. 3" (

39.961320, -104.847329) 

in Brighton (Adams County). This reservoir is equidistant at approximately 1.4 miles from either Ken Mitchell Park or from the South Platte River Trail parking lot at the intersection of E-470 and Brighton Rd. A spotting scope is highly recommended. A Common Loon has also been present here providing nice size comparisons. A checklist with camera and digiscope photos can be found here:
