Rebecca Kosten: transcript of telephone call:
Richard Stevens, Bryan Ehlmann and Jerry Petrosky left Denver about 2:00 am. They arrived at Rocky Ford Wildlife Area in Otero County about an hour and a half before sunrise. Their efforts paid off as a Western Screech-Owl was found.
They spent several hours at Blue Lake in Bent and Kiowa Counties. At first they only found a Lesser Black-backed Gull, Thayer's Gull and Pectoral Sandpiper. After another two hours a Jaeger was seen flying over the eastern end. This is most likely the Parasitic Jaeger reported last week.
No Barn Owls could be found north of Blue Lake and they worked their way back toward Rocky Ford. Lake Henry and Lake Meredith are closed. They scoped Ordway Reservoir from Highway 71, found no uncommon birds.
Nearby after sunset, they found both an Eastern Screech-Owl and Western Screech-Owl on the same ranch in Crowley County!
