Richard Stevens:
It was a bad day for several of my birding friends. Jacob Washburn and Ray Simmons aborted their attempt to walk the Colorado Trail. I went up to Michigan Creek Road west of Jefferson and picked them up this morning. They had walked 78 miles of the trail in six days. Our wet summer got to be too much. It rained almost constantly during their trek.
We stopped at the American Three-toed Woodpecker site along Michigan Creek Road (see CoBus website) and did relocate the male about 20 yards south of Michigan Creek Road (a.k.a. Georgia Pass). When it started pouring, we abandoned hopes for any owling after dark. I took a couple of very wet and muddy birders back to Denver.
