September 4 to 5, 2010
Richard Stevens:
Because we did not get to sleep until sunrise, our birding day started in the afternoon. We drove around the Gould area and checked hummingbird feeders.
Quite a few Broad-tailed Hummingbirds were still around. Rufous Hummingbirds, especially adult male numbers are down (we only saw 3 compared to 60+ adult Broad-tailed). An adult Calliope Hummingbird, 2 female adults and 2 immature Calliope Hummingbirds were counted (we checked out 3 locations).
We had an uneventful drive south down the road from Gould. No owls were found. A few Western Wood-pewees and 1 Olive-sided Flycatcher were about all that could be found.
After dusk, we visited five known Boreal Owl sites and found only one Boreal Owl.
