Winter birds in Colorado Springs.
We have been out and about looking for birds all over the area with different groups to see what is still in the area as the seasons change. So the other day I went to Memorial Park & Prospect Lake to see what might be about. I thought there had been a report of a Greater White-fronted Goose so I took a stab at finding it. Well, I did find it as well as several other birds to include both an adult and juvenile Snow Goose, the white-fronted and to my surprise after my wife questioning the gull that didn't look right, and help from John Drummond with the identification, a 2nd year Mew Gull. So, it was a pretty good stop after all.
