Driving Through Adams and Arapahoe Counties

August 2, 2013

Richard Stevens:

Rebecca and I drove through the DIA Owl Loop (Adams County) and Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe) on our way to do chores this afternoon.

At least four Burrowing Owls were 3.4 miles east of Tower Road and 96th avenue (Adams).

Water levels are low at Cherry Creek Reservoir (Arapahoe).  Only a few Killdeer took advantage of the growing mudflats.

Most of the gulls were on the southwestern sand spit.  A Lesser Black-backed Gull was on the southwest marina sand spit. We could not find the Bonaparte's Gull that has lingered for months now.
