Richard Stevens:
Finally a cooler day (temperatures only around 92 degrees however overcast skies!). Unfortunately, I worked most of the day getting our new computers up to date and working. Thousands of files to transfer from our old XP computers (which when turned on, crashed everytime after 10-15 minutes).
The last couple of hours of daylight, Bryan & Sue Ehlmann, Rebecca Kosten and I drove around southeastern Weld County. We stopped at Banner Lakes Wildlife Area. Only the southern ponds are open (Northern Ponds open after July 15, nesting sites for many birds).
Mosquitoes were not too bad as the 18-25 mph winds kept them down in the weeds. Many Western Kingbirds, a pair of Eastern Kingbirds, and a few House Wrens were moving around. No warblers were found.
We stopped by Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe) on our way to dinner. At least one Black-chinned Hummingbird is still flying around east of the Ranger's Office. Not much else has seen anywhere else. American White Pelicans and Ring-billed Gulls were hunkered down on the eastern sand spit. One Double-crested Cormorant on the southwest marina logs.
