Wandering Northeastern Colorado

August 27, 2010

Richard Stevens:

Roger Danka and I birded six ranches in Logan/Sedgwick Counties today. I inherited two private ranches from Dan Bridges (birding access, not property) and have kept up bird counts since his "retirement" from birding.

Dan Bridges Number 1 birding site (Logan County)
Canada Warbler
White-throated Sparrow
Blackburnian Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler

Dan Bridges Site 2
White-throated Sparrow

Private ranch #1
Field Sparrow (2)
White-throated Sparrow

Private ranch #2
White-throated Sparrow

Private ranch #3
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Blackburnian Warbler
Tennessee Warbler

Private ranch #4
Long-eared Owl (2)

After dark, we found two Eastern Screech-Owls on Roger's Ranch (private ranch #1)
