Five of us returned to Denver this morning hoping to beat the oncoming winter storm; which we did!
We stopped at Flagler Reservoir (Kit Carson), found almost no birds moving around and continued west.

Highlights included many owls (Eastern Screech-Owl, Long-eared Owl, Short-eared Owl, Great Horned Owl), Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Eastern Bluebirds, Winter Wren and Common Redpoll!

Bryan Ehlmann:
Six of us traveled to Lamar today.
We drove roads north around the Falcon area (including Elbert Road) searching in vain for the Snowy Owl reported last week.
A drive around Rocky Ford found 2 White-winged Doves and one Inca Dove at the traditional locations.
We searched south of Las Animas at the infamous "secret bird feeding station". Nothing uncommon was found.
At dusk we searched the Upper Queens Reservoir area for Short-eared Owls; without success.
