Drive Around Barr Lake Area

January 29, 2013

Richard Stevens:

While out doing chores, we made a stop at Barr Lake (Adams County).  No Fox Sparrow, thought maybe if it was still around, the seed below the feeders would entice it to come by.

A Common Redpoll made a brief visit to the thistle feeder in front of the Visitor's Center.  It was seen only once in 1.5 hours.  The American Goldfinches in winter plumage are interesting to watch.  It amazes me how small they are when I am not looking through binoculars.

Toward sunset, I made another drive along 160th avenue, no Snowy Owl.  Nothing more frustrating than looking for a white bird on the snow covered ground or rooftops.
