Neglected to mention in my earlier post re the Denver Field Ornithologists field trip to Denver City Park yesterday; among the myriad Cackling and Canada Geese was one goose with a very broad white neck ring. This is characteristic of the Aleutian subspecies of Cackling Goose, but according to Sibley, may also rarely occur among other white-cheeked goose subspecies.
Also, one of our trip members has said she mis-remembered about Double-crested Cormorants. She did see one on Ferril Lake February 9, but none on Duck Lake or in the nesting area.
