Douglas and Jefferson County Owling

March 11, 2010

Bryan Ehlmann:

Richard Stevens and I searched for owls in northern Douglas County. We only found one Northern Pygmy-Owl at a location near Sedalia.

We were able to relocate two of the Three-toed Woodpeckers that were previously reported along Highway 67, west of Sedalia and East of Rampart Road.

When we passed Highway 85 near Louviers, one of the Lewis's Woodpeckers was on its favorite "leaning tree".

Later, Richard Stevens and I went owling in Jefferson County. Richard met another birder earlier in the week who suggested 6 or 7 alternative owling locations. We spent the night at two of them and found Northern Saw-whet Owls (2) and Northern Pygmy-Owls (1) at county location #1 and another Northern Saw-whet Owl and Northern Pygmy-Owl at county location #2.
