CO birders :

 

     The immature /female Long-tailed Duck was still present at Big Johnson Reservoir , El Paso County this afternoon . It was not visible from the parking lots , you need to walk east 200 to 300 yards and look out towards the dam wall .Also present Common Loon and immature/female Surf Scoter . An initial sighting of an immature Black Scoter could not be re found and I think was mis ID for a Ruddy Duck ,sorry Joe ,Gwen and Tina .
