Jackson Reservoir and Some Morgan County Birding

January 24, 2010

Richard Stevens:

For the third day in a row, weather (wind and snow) has prevented us from trying for White-tailed Ptarmigan on Loveland Pass. Instead, three of us drove to Jackson Reservoir (Morgan County). Winds were 20+ mph with gusts measuring 38+ mph.

Not the best conditions to find any birds. We did find a couple of Lapland Longspurs within 3 miles north of Jackson Wildlife Area. An Eastern Screech-Owl was heard somewhere along the western side of Jackson Reservoir (around the Campgrounds).
