La Plata, Sedgwick and Jackson County Updates

July 1, 2011

Amy Davenport:

La Plata County
Bryan and Sue Ehlmann relocated a Williamson's Sapsucker family at Haviland Lake Wildlife Area. They relocated two Acorn Woodpeckers at Wildcat Canyon, and then drove up Junction Creek Road.

They found a Townsend's Warbler and Grace's Warbler at the Junction Creek Campgrounds. A Northern Saw-whet Owl was heard not far from the Campgrounds. A second Northern Saw-whet Owl was heard farther up the road from the Campgrounds.

Sedgwick County
Jacob Washburn and Ray Simmons continued their northeastern bird counts. They found a Great Crested Flycatcher at the Julesburg Wayside Rest Stop. No way to know if it was the one found on 5/31/2011.

A White-throated Sparrow was on the southwest hillside at DePoorter Lake. A Dickcissel was at Highway 138 and County Road 15.

An Eastern Screech-Owl was found on private land.

Jackson County
Stevens and Petrosky ended up with 11 Boreal Owls over three nights. One nest box had a female and one young. Another nest box had two destroyed eggs. None of the nests was located within 3 miles of a paved road.
