Richard Stevens:
Temperatures only reached the middle 40s today. Anemometer readings were 14 mph, gusts to 21 mph. Sunset was another of those wondrous Colorado colorful winter sunsets.
After a meeting at the Denver Tech Center (south end of Denver), I planned to go to Barr Lake (Adams County) and look for Long-eared Owls. Unfortunately, like yesterday, plans changed. Traffic was so congested it was not possible to get to Barr Lake before sunset.
Instead, I detoured to Rocky Mountain Arsenal (Adams) which turned out to be a good choice. Perhaps I could find a stray Northern Saw-whet Owl in the evergreens along the Legacy trail?
No Northern Saw-whet Owl was found, however, I did find three Barn Owls and at least six Long-eared Owls. One of the Barn Owls perched on top of a New Mexican Locust Tree for a good five minutes.
Watched a great sunset and headed for home!
