Return to Castlewood Canyon Road

January 30, 2008

I drove down to Castlewood Canyon State Park and Castlewood Canyon Road (west of the Winkler Ranch) today. Birding was slow until I reached my friend's home near the park. The Northern Saw-whet Owl was in the same tree it has been for about a week now. Hopefully, it will try to nest in this tree or in the forest behind his house.

Yesterday, his feeders were visited by a Harris's Sparrow. Unfortunately, it did not show up today.

I did not return to Denver until after dark. I stopped at several locations along Castlewood Canyon Road as it passes through Castlewood Canyon State Park. No owls answered my recordings.
