That's good to know. So close and yet so far (for MoCo listers).

On the other hand, yesterday I saw two all white feral domestic geese 
FLYING in with a flock of Canadas to a corn stubble field near Black 
Hills. This is the first time I've seen these geese fly, and first time 
I'd seen them away from the lake. There was also a hybrid Canada with a 
white face that could be mistaken for a Barnacle Goose by a casual 
observer. This is starting to get real confusing. I wonder if some 
waterfowl fancier is using the lake as his dumping ground for birds that 
don't interest him?

Good birding!
