Return to Phantom Canyon

September 18, 2009

Gary Weston: Another late start, we drove around Pueblo Reservoir hoping to get a look at the Sabine's Gull reported last Tuesday. Again another bird eluded us but in our defense Pueblo Reservoir is huge. We did add Canyon Towhees, Scaled Quail and a Say's Phoebe to our trip list.

At dusk we returned to Phantom Canyon Road. We missed a resident Northern Saw-whet Owl at Juno Oro; one of our favorite spots to hear or see one near dusk.

The rest of the night was spent again searching unsuccessfully for Spotted Owls up Phantom Canyon.
