Hi all, there is a Long-tailed Duck in the southern-most reservoir between the South Platte River and 104th Avenue, directly east of McKay Road (Thornton, Adams County).

The female Long-tailed Duck was in the same location at 9:30 AM today, best seen from the pin marker for this eBird hotspot:
"South Platte River (Adams Co)--McKay Rd & 100th area"
Thanks, Adam Vesely.

From Denver, drive NE on I-76, exit at 96th Ave, drive west to McKay Road, then NW
and park on the shoulder just north of the South Platte River bridge. There is a nice
variety of waterfowl here. The duck was diving and best seen when above water.

However, those of us with portable submarines are getting excellent looks of the duck when it dives.
