I rested Saturday morning and Bryan and I headed out a little after noon for Garfield County. One of my goals was to bird up Ripple Pass (northeast of Buford). It is one of the few passes that I have not been up yet. As it turned out, we never made it that far north. Just too many places to visit and not enough time.
We went owling up Coffee Pot Road (other names: Forest Road 600, 140 Road, CR 17). We found a Flammulated Owl which is rare in that part of Garfield County (according to Andrews and Righter “Colorado Birds”. We also received responses from two Northern Saw-whet Owls (to our playback recordings, no longer tapes, we use an Ipod to play MP3 files).
