Richard Stevens:
Gary Weston, Tom Warring, and I found 12+ Barrow's Goldeneyes at the Blue River Water Treatment Plant (Summit County), then returned to Loveland Pass (Clear Creek County). We hiked up the trail west of Highway 6 and found 3 White-tailed Ptarmigan. They were in the flat area (with a ditch) about 0.7 miles up. It easy to find the area as it is the only flat area south (or north) of the trail.
Afterwards drove over to Pine Valley Ranch Park (Jefferson). No American Three-toed Woodpeckers were found until we hiked along the Strawberry Jack Trail and south of the Parkview Trail. A female Three-toed Woodpecker was probably the one reported by Merlynn Brown yesterday. It was along the Strawberry Jack Trail and approximately 250 yards south of the Parkview Trail.
While in the area, a Northern Pygmy-Owl started calling. It could have been the one reported by James Junda on 2/3. This was approximately 300 yards south of the intersection of the Strawberry Jack and Parkview Trails.
