Birding Douglas & Elbert Counties On a Hot Day

July 21, 2008

Another hot one today, Ed Peters and I birded in Douglas and Elbert Counties. Few birds were moving about.

We searched briefly for the Prairie Warbler at Castlewood Canyon State Park (Douglas); without success. A few male Bobolinks are still in the fields south of the entrance to the Winkler Ranch (south of the state park).

We struck out on Dickcissels along Elbert County Road. Our visit was not during the best time of day (temperatures in the middle 90s). We skipped waiting around for sunset and cooler temperatures.

The heat and low bird numbers finally ended our birding day.
