Rebecca Kosten: transcript of telephone call:
Richard Stevens & Bryan Ehlmann birding the Eastern Plains
There are many birds on the eastern plains. The mix appears to change daily. Today we birded around the Wray area.
Stalker Ponds west of Wray was particularly good. Birds included: Blue-headed Vireo, Magnolia Warbler, two Cassin's Vireos, an American Redstart, male Northern Cardinal, a female Red-bellied Woodpecker, and two Eastern Screech-Owls. Misses included the possible Yellow-bellied Flycatcher reported on 9/14.
At the nearby Wray Fishing Unit, two Eastern Phoebes and a Barn Owl continued.
We searched for uncommon sparrows at Sandsage Wildlife Area but found none. A Tennessee Warbler, Nashville Warbler and calling Eastern Wood-Pewee were the consolation birds, not bad!
We looked unsuccessfully for Greater Prairie-Chickens at dusk along Yuma County Road 45.
