Pueblo Reservoir Nov 19

[Brandon]

Chris Knight and I scoped Pueblo Reservoir this afternoon, hoping for lost eiders.  Duck numbers on the Reservoir seemed pretty low, because of hunting, the smarter ducks know it is more safe to hang out on the various ponds or along the river instead of the Reservoir.  Today's highlights, adult Short-billed Gull, juvenile Iceland (Thayer's) Gulls near South Shore Marina, an adult a Lesser Black-backed Gull at North Shore Marina, and two Red-necked Grebes (one off West Fishing Road and one off Hobie Cat Road).  Hundreds of Western/Clark's Grebes, fewer Eared, Horned, and Pied-billed Grebes.  About 8 Common Loons and many Bonaparte's Gulls around the Reservoir.
