November 28-29, 2016
Richard Stevens:
Terry Michaels and I headed to northeastern Colorado in search of the Snow Buntings as some were reported a few days ago. Unfortunately, none was found during our trip.
November 28
A brief stop was made at Jackson Reservoir (Morgan County). One Long-eared Owl was in the western Campgrounds. Two Yellow-rumped Warblers were at Pelican Campgrounds. No Snow Buntings seen along the southern dam wall.
No Snow Buntings or uncommon birds were at Sterling Reservoir (Logan) also.
Jumbo Reservoir (Logan/Sedgwick) produced no Snow Bunting sightings too. We search for the previously reported Brant, without success. A Lesser Black-backed Gull was at the south end of the lake and a Red-bellied Woodpecker at the eastern Campgrounds.
November 29
We arrived at Sand Draw Wildlife Area (Sedgwick) shortly after midnight. Using our night vision glasses we found an Eastern Screech-Owl. The previously reported Northern Saw-whet Owls were not found.
NOTE: We use the Armasight N-15 Compact Dual Tube Gen 3 Night Vision Goggles!
After sunrise, we walked to the eastern edge of the Wildlife Area. No Snow Buntings, we did come across a Field Sparrow.
No Snow Buntings could be found when we drove the back roads in Phillips County. Eventually we gave up and headed back to Denver.
