Snowmass Village birds, Pitkin County

[Bryan Gieszl]

Hello

I jealously read all of the reports statewide of Bohemian Waxwings last year, but here in Pitkin county—nada.  But today, I found a flock of 15 in Snowmass Village when I decided for some reason to check the least productive pond in the county.  Last week there were more sightings of a Mexican Duck that has been present intermittently since late November, depending on the presence of open water.  Exciting to have visitors from the south and north at the same time here in our frozen bit of the state!
