Richard Stevens:
While out doing chores, I passed by the South Platte River at 88th Avenue and Colorado Blvd. To get some exercise, I hike a mile down the bile path on the west side of the river. The pair of Barrow's Goldeneyes was again on the river about 20 yards downstream (north) of the green/white tower.
When a dog walker/jogger passed by, the pair flew to the Northern West Gravel Lakes. On the return trip, I scoped that lake and relocated the 3 Long-tailed Ducks and the Barrow's Goldeneye pair.
There were no Barrow's Goldeneyes on East Gravel Lake; however, plenty of waterfowl were taking advantage of the limited open water. Three species of mergansers, American Coots, Northern Shovelers, Mallards, a Northern Pintail Duck, several Redheads and 2 Canvasbacks were included in the group.
