Jacob Washburn, Ray Simmons, Terry Michaels and I headed to Wild Basin area of Rocky Mountain National Park before sunrise.
Eventually we relocated a Stub-tailed Wren near Ouzel falls. The wren only allowed several short views. We did not have enough input to distinguish it from a Pacific or Winter Wren.
Later we hiked the road from Copeland Lake west for a mile or so. Other birds found included two American Three-toed Woodpeckers a Williamson's Sapsucker pair, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Warbling Vireo, Hairy & Downy Woodpeckers.
Late in the afternoon, we hiked Mesa South trail up Shadow Canyon. We enjoyed a good owling trip. Final count was Eastern Screech-Owl (along South Boulder Creek), two Northern Pygmy-Owls (Shadow Canyon) and one or two Flammulated Owls (Shadow Canyon). Misses: Northern Saw-whet Owls could not be found.
