Return to Weld County

February 14, 2009

Richard Stevens:

Gary Weston and I returned to Wellington Wildlife Area (Larimer County). The weather was not as good as it was on Thursday. We managed again find 11+ Long-eared Owls at all three Units of the Wildlife Area. The most was 5 at the Wellington Unit. Two Short-eared Owls were again observed at the Wellington Unit.

Afterwards we drove back to the private ranch where the Common Redpoll is still visiting feeders. The Harris's Sparrow did not appear during our hour stay.

The Northern Saw-whet Owl was still at a windbreak in Weld County.

We visited many of the WIA units in Weld County as I continue to take GPS waypoints and photographs of the possible birding locations.
