Temperatures again reached near 60 degrees. Winds were 7-8 mph. Rebecca and I returned to Washington Park (Denver) hoping for a better photo of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Doug Kibbe relocated the sapsucker yesterday.
It took about 20 minutes to spy the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in one of its favorite trees (#5). Unfortunately, we only saw parts of the bird at anyone time. After about 45 minutes, we abandoned the chance of getting another photo (see photo on the Colorado Birding Society's Photo Library:

We continued enjoying the fantastic day with a walk at Barr Lake (Adams). Both a Barn Owl and Long-eared Owl were relocated.
No Short-eared Owls appeared this evening along the DIA Owl Loop. That is for us, Mike McCoy relocated one along Gun Club Road, Third Creek area.

Hi Richard,
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to see the famous barn owl, which lives in the nest box by the trail at barr lake, but no luck so far... Could u point at any other location, which might have a better probability of seeing a barn owl
