Northeastern Plains, Sedgwick County Today

May 26, 2013

Amy Davenport: transcript of telephone call:

The CoBus group, eight strong, continued wandering around northeastern Colorado, mostly in Sedgwick County today.  Temperatures were in the high 80s; winds 5+ mph, picked up in the afternoon.

Richard Stevens reported, "It was not as birdy as yesterday".  The slighting waning full moon and southerly winds may have assisted many birds in continuing their northerly migration".

Their Sedgwick County day count included:

++Sedgwick Bar Wildlife Area:
Upland Sandpiper, Red-bellied Woodpecker

++Julesburg Wildlife Area:
probable male Eastern Towhee
male Northern Cardinal
White-throated Sparrow (2)

++Pond Express Wildlife Area
Hooded Warbler
Red-bellied Woodpecker

++Sand Draw Wildlife Area
Field Sparrow (2)
