Bryan Ehlmann:
Richard Stevens and I returned to Banner Lakes Wildlife Area because he missed Long-eared Owls on Friday. We had better luck today; it only took a 15 minute walk to find two owls in the windbreak at Pond # 7.
We decided to continue north and found 3 Lapland Longspurs with a flock of 200 Horned Larks along Weld County Road 22 between County Roads 41 and 49. We also enjoy sightings of 2 Ferruginous Hawks, 1 Golden Eagle, 2 Prairie Falcons, 7 Red-tailed Hawks, 4 American Kestrels, 1 Merlin, 3 Northern Harriers, and 2 Rough-legged Hawks. One of the Rough-legged Hawks was an uncommon dark morph!
We saw three Northern Harriers and two Short-eared Owls near sunset at Lower Latham Reservoir.
