Richard Stevens:
Rebecca Kosten and I tried for another photograph of the Harris's Sparrow at Star K Ranch. The sparrow appeared shortly after sunrise and kicked around the snow for some seed. Unfortunately, the light was not good and all photos were blurry.
I had some business in Platteville and we headed north. We passed by Harvest Road and 138th but did not stay long. Neither Snowy Owl was conspicuously apparent.
It took several hours to set up a computer network for a friend. Afterwards, we had considered going to Wellington Wildlife Area (Larimer County) and search for Short-eared Owls. After reading that Gary Lefko had found a Short-eared Owl yesterday, we decided to drive around Lower Latham Reservoir (Weld) instead.
A Marsh Wren popped out of the cattails along CR 48. Raptors included Red-tailed Hawks, American Kestrels and one Rough-legged Hawk. A Great Horned Owl was east of the reservoir.
No Short-eared Owls were north of the reservoir this afternoon. Two Short-eared Owls flew around the field south of Lower Latham Reservoir (County Road 48) at sunset.
