Richard Stevens:
Rebecca Kosten and I headed to Castlewood Canyon State Park (Douglas County) to look for yesterday's reported Broad-winged Hawk. It was not found.
We did find a Western Wood-pewee and another flycatcher observed too briefly to identify along Castlewood Canyon Road (west side of the State Park). A few Turkey Vultures (no Black Vultures) circled overhead.
Then we circled Denver and stopped at Red Rocks Park (Jefferson). Birds were quite scarce. In our two hour sit except for a brief appearance of the Golden-crowned Sparrow, only 2 Spotted Towhees, 1 Song Sparrow, House Finches and Western Scrub-Jays were observed. The Fox Sparrow did not make an appearance.
We pass through the DIA Owl Loop on our trip home. A couple of Burrowing Owls were at the prairie dog village (3.4 miles east of Tower Road & 96th avenue). No Short-eared Owls or other raptors found tonight.
