Richard Stevens:
Just to get out of the house (played bridge most of the day), Bryan Ehlmann and I drove the DIA Owl Loop (Adams County). Roads were quite sloppy from the 10+ inches of snowfall yesterday. Winds were 13 mph with gusts to 21 mph. High temperature around the Airport for Monday was around 24 degrees.
No Short-eared Owls appeared tonight. However, we did not leave the main roads and check the fields; no one felt like shoveling a vehicle out of snow and mud.
The highlight was finding a flock of 300+ Horned Larks. While there were no Snow Buntings (one can wish), there were a dozen to fourteen Lapland Longspurs and two McCown's Longspurs. They stayed close to Trussville and 114th Avenue for quite a while and allowed great looks!
