Richard Stevens:
Today we conducted the Georgetown Christmas Count. The center point is such that Loveland Pass is in the count circle.
Bryan Ehlmann and I found 2 White-tailed Ptarmigan south of Loveland Pass' Summit (at first pullover on right/west side of the highway).
We also observed small flocks of Rosy Finches (Gray-crowned and a few Brown-capped) while walking around the Summit.
About an hour before sunset, Bryan and I cross country skied up the Hunkidori Trail. After dusk, two Boreal Owls responded to our recordings. They were at least 1-1.5 miles west of the trailhead.
Before the hike, I passed out "Colorado Field Notes", my email address and cell phone number. On feeder counter found a Northern Pygmy-Owl south of Montezuma.
Bryan and I also ventured a mile up both St. Johns and Argentine Pass trails. No additional owls were encountered.
