Return to Cherry Creek Reservoir

January 19, 2008

While out during chores we again drove through Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe County). The snow this morning appears to forced any birds around to not move.

We did find the Northern Shrike again in the Russian Olive Trees near the entrance to the shooting range.

Hawk count was: 3 Red-tailed Hawks, 2 Northern Harriers, 2 American Kestrel.

No Great Horned Owls could be located. It has been awhile since I have seen one in the park. Could they all be gone? Nesting attempts the last two years appeared to have failed.
