June 1 through June 5, 2008
We conducted owl counts on Pennock Pass and Cameron Pass. A friend has a cabin which was our home base near Gould (Jackson County).
The counts on Pennock Pass were conducted 6/1 and 6/5. 6/2 to 6/4 we wandered around Cameron Pass (Larimer/Jackson) and into the Colorado State Forest. There are 152 Boreal Owl boxes that are being monitored in the Colorado State Forest. The Flammulated Owls appear to prefer the lower forest of Pennock Pass)
We are not going to divulge locations of nesting owls. However, we do take birders to individual sites (upon request). Our owl totals were 7 Boreal Owls and 9 Flammulated Owls! Bill Cryder found a Northern Pygmy-Owl at one of the campgrounds along highway 14 on his trip back to Aurora.
We all enjoyed a great time. Several sites in the Colorado State Forest required snowshoes to reach. Two sites required hikes of over 7 miles.
