A few waterfowl on a cold, rainy day

Today was one of the few cold and rainy days in SE Colorado where the sun barely breaks through. It was pretty miserable, though not as nasty as other Colorado areas where a very wet snow began falling in the late afternoon, breaking tree branches that have still not lost all their leaves.

I found a few waterfowl at ponds in the area. Brush Hollow Res near Penrose had 2 Ruddy Ducks, a Pied-billed Grebe, a Great Blue Heron and a female Redhead. There were also two adult Ring-billed Gulls at the reservoir and a immature gull that didn't look like the common Ring-billed or California Gulls (it's bill was all dark and dark underparts, maybe a Herring Gull?). Only shorebirds were Killdeer. Only other crazy people out in the drenching rain were a few fishermen (though I stayed inside my car).

There were also 2-3 Ruddy Ducks at 2 Pied-billed Grebes at pond at the Sumo golf course south of Florence.
