Drive through Jefferson, Douglas & Adams Counties

August 4, 2008

Richard Stevens:

I drove up to Bailey (Jefferson County) to see if the Magnificent Hummingbird found last week was still anywhere in the area; without success.

Before sunrise, I relocated the Common Poorwill northwest of the main Reynolds Park parking area. I also heard a Northern Pygmy-Owl east along Foxton Road (the road to and past Reynolds Park).

On the way home I stopped at the Winkler Ranch (Castlewood Canyon Road, south of the State Park) and counted at least 5 male and 2 female Bobolink. I heard at least one Dickcissel but did not have the time to put binoculars on it.

Burrowing Owls are still spread around the DIA Owl Loop (Adams).
