Another Owl and Snow Bunting Chase

January 31, 2009

Richard Stevens:

Randy Cross and I headed up to Morgan County this morning.

We again found Long-eared Owls at Jackson Reservoir. A Great Horned Owl was in the cottonwoods at Sandpiper Campgrounds. We could not relocate the White-throated Sparrow I found last week.

We found 3 flocks of Lapland Longspurs and Horned Larks. The flock along County Road AAA at 1.5 miles north of CR 26 also had a Snow Bunting! We checked several other WIA (Colorado Walk-in areas; $20 pass required that expires on 1/28/2009); without seeing much.

A pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers was relocated at Brush Wildlife Area. We were not able to relocate the Eastern Screech-Owl I found last week.
