Bryan Ehlmann:
We did enjoy the week of snowmobiling and snowshoeing around for Boreal Owls. Interesting learning curve on the snowmobiles, it took several days to learn how to control the machines.
A more pressing challenge for me was walking around most nights and then trying to catch some sleep from 8:00 AM to noon. That is a new experience for me.
Great time! I don't know the final Boreal Owl count yet. We managed to get GPS waypoints on at least a dozen, closer to two. Richard will go into more detail in an upcoming issue of "Colorado Field Notes".
He's developed an interesting technique to approach the challenge.
We also ran into White-winged Crossbills twice, Three-toed Woodpeckers three days, several flocks of 100+ Rosy Finches. The solitude when the machines are not running is outstanding.
