Richard Stevens:
Paul Stein, Gary Weston and I went looking for White-tailed Ptarmigan on Mt Evans (Clear Creek County) Saturday morning. Unfortunately we did not find any in an hour or so search. Back down at Summit Lake, we observed 2+ Brown-capped Rosy Finches at the northwest shore. They later were relocated on the rocks to the northwest corner of Summit Lake.
We then continued on to Guanella Pass (Clear Creek County) where we enjoyed better luck. A Ptarmigan jumped up on the rocks just southeast of the sign up box for the Rosalie and 603 trails.
From there we went over to Pine Valley Ranch Park (Jefferson County). We had to climb all the way up Buck Gulch Trail to Strawberry Jack Trail to Parkview Trail to find an American Three-toed Woodpecker. The woodpecker was found on our return trip back down the Strawberry Jack Trail at 300 yards below the Parkview Trail.
At dusk we searched for Northern Pygmy-Owls at White Ranch Open Space (Jefferson); without success.
