At the end of last summer, I had to make a business trip to Denver, Colorado. The ponds were pretty much duck-less when we were there as the ducks were moulting but there were a lot of Black-crowned Night-herons and waders like American Avocet. The post Chronic Exposure in Colorado first appeared on 10,000 Birds.

It is mid-March and I am back in Colorado for meetings. Late summer 2023 the lakes and ponds had been empty, presumably because the ducks and geese were moulting. Empty no more, the ponds were now brimming with ducks of all creeds and persuasions – it was spectacular. Our goal was the usually very busy Staunton State Park.

My former nemesis was the Masked Duck. As much as I looked for it in the right places, the pirate duck stayed elusive. These were some of those final steps to my lifer Masked Duck: A Distant Site. The most reliable spot for Masked Duck in Costa Rica is the site known as “ Las Pangas ” in the Coto wetlands.

One of my all-time favorite places to go birding is the area around California’s Salton Sea, which was created when the Colorado River burst its levees and flowed into the Salton Sink…so not only does this place exist due to the hand of man, it was also an accident! What’s better than finding a Tufted Duck?

Jeff and Allison Wells, a pair of Americans who run the excellent Birds of Aruba website , being the sole keepers of Aruba’s historical records, and Steve Mlodinow, the Colorado birder who travels there annually and eBirds the heck out of the place, being the only ones I can find. This, like most things, offers some pros and some cons.
