Richard Stevens:
The Colorado Birding Society conducted its tenth annual Pawnee National Grasslands Christmas Count today. Temperatures reached into the low 30s; winds were strong at times, 8-10 mph with gusts to 18 mph.
Eight of us enjoyed the warm day. Highlights included:
Short-eared Owls at three different locations
Northern Saw-whet Owl & Harris's Sparrow at a private yard
Snow Bunting at two locations (one of which was near a location where one was spotted yesterday, we did not know about it ahead of time.
Common Redpoll (one on the usda central plains experimental range)
Lapland Longspurs (50+, spread over three locations)
Brown-capped Rosy Finches (2) at a friend's ranch
