Richard Stevens:
Bryan Ehlmann and I over five miles at Rocky Mountain Arsenal (Adams County). We hiked from the Lake Ladora parking area to Havana Ponds, then to the Rod & Gun Club Pond and back. It was cool in the morning, but heated up to the high 80s by noon. Winds were measured at 12+ mph.
Sage Thrashers were still around in good numbers (total 11 along our route). The highlight was an Eastern Phoebe along the Rod and Gun Club trail. We also spotted a Long-eared Owl in a New Mexico Locust grove.
Other birds observed included two Rock Wrens, two Common Yellowthroat, Virginia Rail (heard), Sora (heard), a Western Wood-pewee, and a young Bullock's Oriole.
