Another Trip to Loveland Pass

April 13, 2015

I took two Illinois birders up to Loveland Pass (Clear Creek County).  It was surprisingly quiet.  Few skiers and mild winds made for a pleasant morning of birding.  After stopping at three pullovers along the highway, we found two White-tailed Ptarmigan below the eastern side of the Summit.

Afterwards, I drove the DIA Owl Loop (Adams) and counted nine Burrowing Owls spread over three locations.  At dusk, a Short-eared Owl flew around the field east of Quency Street and 3.2 miles east of Tower Road & 96th avenue intersection.
