August 31, 2016 (part 2)
Richard Stevens:
A brief stop at the Jackson Reservoir Campgrounds found a Cassin's Vireo (Pelican Campsites) and a Long-eared Owl. Birding was slow and I continued northeast up I76.
I enjoyed the afternoon and evening walking around Prewitt Reservoir (Logan/Sedgwick Counties).
Eventually I found the Western Gull and Lesser Black-backed Gull off the Campgrounds.
Other birds relocated included 12 Semipalmated Plovers, 2 Pectoral Sandpipers, 2 Yellow-billed Cuckoos, an Eastern Phoebe, Great Crested Flycatcher, Olive-sided Flycatcher, American Redstart, Dickcissel (along entrance road), and Brown Thrasher.
Highlight was a beautiful male Blackburnian Warbler below the dam.
After dark, I continued my walk and relocated Eastern Screech-Owls below the dam and at the inlet area.
Dove hunting season starts tomorrow. Many hunters will be around with shotguns. Beware!
