Another Snowy Owl Trip

January 16, 2010

Richard Stevens:

Jamie Mullin and I pointed our car south before sunrise this morning.

At 8:00 pm we observed the Snowy Owl near the intersection of Prairie View Lane and.

Afterwards we searched unsuccessfully for the Winter Wren at Fountain Creek Regional Park. A Wilson's Snipe was in the area of the reported wren.

Our next stop was Brush Hollow Wildlife Area (Fremont). We found 3 or 4 Juniper Titmouse but stuck out on the Ladder-backed Woodpecker.

We stopped at Pueblo Reservoir (Pueblo) and found both the adult Lesser Black-backed Gull and Great Black-backed Gull on the south marina tires.

After striking out again on the Winter Wren at Fountain Creek Regional Park (El Paso), we arrive back at the Snowy Owl location east of Hwy 24 and Elbert Road. The Snowy Owl was on a house near highway 24 and flew back to the intersection of Prairie View Lane and at 5:00 pm.
