Bryan Ehlmann and I headed to Cameron Pass and the Colorado State Forest today.
On the drive up, we stopped at the Parkside Center Pond & Sienna Pond in Broomfield County in search of gulls. Gull numbers were down quite a bit from last week. Still an adult Thayer's Gull was found at Parkside and a 1st cycle Thayer's Gull at Sienna.
While we did not find the 60+ Common Redpolls at the Fort Collins Museum and Discovery Science Museum, we did count 11+ birds.
Stops at several of the Campgrounds and picnic areas along Highway 14 did not find a Northern Pygmy-Owl.
After complete dark, we heard a Boreal Owl at the upper parking area for Joe Wright Reservoir (Larimer County). We heard another Boreal Owl at the Crags Campgrounds (Jackson County).

Bryan and I drove to Steamboat Springs; target birds were Common Redpoll, Bohemian Waxwings and White-winged Crossbills.
We found both Sharp-tailed Grouse (14+) and Greater Sage-Grouse (4) and private yards! Two Common Redpolls also visited feeders at the Greater Sage-Grouse yard!
About a dozen Bohemian Waxwings were found along Oak Street (between 7th and 9th Streets). None was along the Yampa River today.
No Crossbills were located during several stops along Rabbit Ear Pass. The American Three-toed Woodpeckers were missed at the Maintenance Shed off Road.
We stopped by the Colorado State Forest Visitor's Center and saw about 100+ Rosy Finches (Gray crowned & Brown capped). The usual Pine Grosbeaks, Cassin's Finches, Mountain Chickadees and Red-winged Blackbirds were also there.
