Richard Stevens:
Last night, we camped up Wet Mountains in Custer County. A Common Poorwill called before dusk. No owls but another rainstorm came in the afternoon.
Highlights included American Three-toed Woodpeckers at two locations. Most of the hummingbirds encountered were Broad-tailed Hummingbirds. We did see two Rufous Hummingbirds!
In the afternoon, we walked around DeWeese Reservoir (Custer County). Lesser Goldfinches, Pine Siskins and three species of nuthatches were found. A Northern Waterthrush walked around below the dam.
Another rainstorm and owling was a bust. I did not want to expose our "owl listening stations" to the wet weather. We did walk around Grape Creek without hearing an owl.
