[cobirds] Barrow's, Spring Park Resr, Eagle Cty

Hi all

 

Managed an hour out this afternoon and headed up to Spring Park Reservoir, probably the best local birding spot during migration in the entire Roaring Fork Valley area

 

Did have much time, and the heatwaves were pretty bad, but never-the-less saw..

 

70+ Barrow’s Goldeneyes

3 Ring-billed Gulls (adults)

Lots of other ducks, but no loons, grebes or shorebirds were immediately obvious, but a visit early morning without the heatwaves would doubtless be more productive

 

BTW – the reservoir is now 99.9% ice free.

 

Good birding all
