Quiet Return to Denver

March 14, 2014

Richard Stevens:

Our eastern Colorado trip ended with little fanfare.  We had scouted our target areas suspecting that it was too early in the year for most of our desired birds.  About that thought, the Kiowa and Bent reservoirs were skipped.

A stop at Rocky Ford Wildlife Area (Otero County) added a Western Screech-Owl to our trip list.  Lake Henry and Lake Meredith access were closed to the areas we wanted to visit.

Limon (Lincoln County) added a few Lapland Longspurs and one McCown's Longspur, not much else.

The I70 Rest Stop at Bennett (Adams County) again had few birds, mostly House Sparrows.
