DIA Owl Loop

March 13, 2009

Richard Stevens:

Early in the morning I tried my luck at finding owls at riparian areas in Morgan County; without success.

A stop at Brush Wildlife Area (Morgan County) relocated the pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers. The Eastern Screech-Owl found several weeks ago did not cooperate today.

Long-eared Owls can still be found at Jackson Lake State Park. Not much else was found though plenty of American Robins flew around.

In the afternoon I drove the DIA Owl Loop (Denver International Airport, Adams County) to see if any Burrowing Owls have arrived; none were found. I did see a Ferruginous Hawk flying over the Prairie Dog Village (CR 96 at 3.4 miles east of Tower Road).

A Rough-legged Hawk stood on one of the road signs.
