A Quick Trip Over to Barr Lake State Park (Adams County)

October 3, 2013

Richard Stevens:

I did not have much time to bird today but had to get out for a little while in the nice weather since a snowstorm is coming tomorrow. 

A walk along the southeast side of Barr Lake (Adams County) found only a few birds.   A Hermit Thrush and Long-eared Owl were in the area where the resident Barn Owl(s) are usually found (mile 7.2).

Along the DIA Owl Loop, at least one Burrowing Owl was still at the prairie dog town at 3.4 miles east of Tower Road & 96th avenue.

Raptors were well represented with two Ferruginous Hawks, a Swainson's Hawk, two Red-tailed Hawks, a male American Kestrel and a Prairie Falcon.
