Search for Long-eared Owls

December 9, 2007

Dave King and I drove up to Jackson Reservoir (Morgan County). We did not find the previously reported Harris's Sparrow but did see our target bird. A lone Long-eared Owl was hidden deep in the woods by the campgrounds. A flock of 9 Yellow-rumped Warblers added a little color to the drab landscape. Two adult Bald Eagles flew by during our stay.

In the afternoon, Rebecca Kosten and I scurried up to Loveland (Larimer). The Streaked-backed Oriole visited feeders several times at Connie Kogler's home.

Thanks much to Connie for finding and inviting birders to see the bird!
