Richard Stevens:
Rebecca and I waited until temperatures cooled from the 95-degree high early in the day. It was a "cool" 88 degrees when we set out for Elbert County, by way of the East Yale Avenue drive through eastern Arapahoe County.
On the trip down to Kiowa, we observed two Dickcissel on telephone wires. One Dickcissel was just south of Arapahoe County Road 42; the other was 2.0 miles south of Elbert CR 154.
We arrived at the "Dickcissel field" along Elbert Road at 4.1 miles south of Hwy 86 around 6:00 pm. At least three Dickcissels popped up from the alfalfa field east of the electric building.
No Bobolink were found at the Winkler Ranch (Douglas County) when we drove by about 30 minutes before sunset.
After stopping at a friend's home, we drove through Castlewood Canyon State Park (Douglas) around 9:30 pm. Two Northern Saw-whet Owls were heard at previous waypoint stops found earlier in the summer.
