I flew into Denver from Mexico. What is 100% true is the flight number I took into Denver: 420. In the spirit of Denver 420 we were so mellow and chill that we cried but a single tear. Late summer 2023 the lakes and ponds had been empty, presumably because the ducks and geese were moulting. Of course, I made that up.

. # # # Query: I have a four hour layover in Denver and want to do some birding close to the airport. If you have a four-hour layover in Denver and want to do some birding close to the airport, one of the best options is to visit the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. Why did the duck become a detective?

Most of the lifers I saw in Denver were named after (in)famous people, so Messrs. At the end of last summer, I had to make a business trip to Denver, Colorado. Denver is a mile high, and the locals make a big deal of it. My lawyer asked me to emphasise that the duck moult was a natural process and not linked to radio-activity.

Our outing on January 7th was based around chasing this winter adult male Long-tailed Duck at City Lake in the middle of Denver, CO. The ponds around the Denver Natural History Museum are visitor and birding friendly. Few divers strike to the heart of birders than a male Ring-necked Duck.
