Richard Stevens:
I returned to the DIA Owl Loop early in the morning. Skies were clear; temperatures were around 18 degrees.
Six Burrowing Owls were scattered over four locations. This time I observed a Short-eared Owl flying over the field at the south end of Gun Club Road (dead ends off 114th avenue).
At noon, we made our way toward Wray.
A male Lark Bunting was found along Highway 36. Two dozen Great-tailed Grackles were on the east side of Yuma, Colorado.
We looked over Turkey Vulture kettles at Last Chance (Washington) and Wray (Yuma) in case the Zone-tailed Hawk observed yesterday about 160 miles south was among them. No such luck for us!
After reaching the Sandhiller Motel in Wray, I enjoyed a walk around the neighborhood. Two Common Redpolls were in the tall cottonwood at the east end of the motel parking area.
A flock of sparrows at the empty lot at Blake and N. Railroad Avenue caught my eye. Eighteen White-crowned Sparrows were joined by a White-throated Sparrow.
After sunset, I walked along the railroad tracks and road running west of the motel. A Long-eared Owl was in the shorter bushes!
