Got bored doing computer chores today until we heard about a possible Eastern Towhee near Barr Lake (Adams County). We were not far from home and drove over to 160th avenue. The weather was better today. Highs reached into the 50s; winds were mild.
During the two hours, we sat watching the feeders and beneath, the only birds to appear were a pair of Dark-eyed Juncos. Gave it a try anyway, it would have been better if the bird had been reported four days earlier when it was first found.
I walked from the railroad tracks to the creek east of the yard with the reported towhee. A flock of five or six White-crowned Sparrows along the creek was accompanied by a White-throated Sparrow! The name of the creek is really "Beebe Seep Canal".
Afterwards we drove 160th avenue to its eastern end. Highlight was a Prairie Falcon and mouse standing on a wooden fence just 10 feet from the road.
Twenty Great-tailed Grackles were along the main road into the town of Barr!
