Richard Stevens:
Bryan Ehlmann and I made a quick one and a half day trip up Interstate 76.
We stopped at Jackson Reservoir (Morgan County) first walking the north side. Two Common Terns flew around the northeastern corner. Only one of the previously reported Caspian Terns was encountered.
A walk along the western Campgrounds did not find any Long-eared Owls or Eastern Screech-Owls. A Great Horned Owl was northwest of the Visitor's Center. A Townsend's Warbler flew around the Russian Olive Trees at Pelican Campgrounds.
Our trek continued northeast and we walked around the inlet canal at Prewitt Reservoir (Logan/Washington Counties). Nothing uncommon was found.
Bird activity was at a minimum. A Red-eyed Vireo was along the outlet canal below the dam. At dusk, we heard an Eastern Screech-Owl east toward the far eastern parking area. We returned to the outlet canal and heard another Eastern Screech-Owl there.
At sunrise, we returned to Denver.
