Rebecca Kosten: transcript of telephone calls:
Richard Stevens and Bryan Ehlmann drove up Quartz Creek (various county roads) today.
It took about an hour to find a White-tailed Ptarmigan at Cumberland Pass. Several Pinyon Jays flew over during their visit. The question is asked but not answered "Are Pinyon Jays nesting somewhere in the area"? The jays have been seen in the area in 2000 and 2010.
A surprise Northern Pygmy-Owl was found near Tincup (at a nest first found in 7/2008, again in 6/2010 and 7/2012.
At least one Rufous Hummingbird was seen flying around Tincup. Is it in early fall migration or late spring migration?
An American Three-toed Woodpecker was found on the way up to Mirror Lake. Another Northern Pygmy-Owl was heard during several stops back down to highway 50 and Gunnison.
