Richard Stevens:
My birding day started at Barr Lake (Adams County). Thirty minutes before sunrise, I walked in from Picadilly Road. No Barn Owls were found along the windbreak at the State Park entrance. Then I returned to my car at sunrise and drove to Visitor's Center. While walking from the Visitor's Center to the banding station, a Barn Owl was observed along that hike.
Later, seven Burrowing Owls were relocated at the prairie dog town at 3.4 miles east of Tower Road and 96th avenue.
Late in the afternoon, I met an out of state birder and we went searching for owls in the foothills. It was raining when we arrive at St. Marys Church in Bailey; previous reported Northern Pygmy-Owl not found.
The rain stopped when we arrive at the Northern Pygmy-Owl spot along CR 64 (approximately 3.5 miles east of Highway 285); previously reported Northern Pygmy-Owl not found.
We returned to St. Marys Church. No owls found during a rainy downpour.
On the trip back to Denver, we detoured over to Reynolds Park (Jefferson). A hike up Oxen Draw and then along Foxton Road between the two parking areas did not find any owls.
Side Note: Jacob Washburn and Ray Simmons went early Thursday morning (8/14). Skies were sunny after sunrise. They found a Northern Pygmy-Owl at the CR 64 location; none was found at St. Marys Church.
