Richard Stevens:
I joined Marion and John Warren in Estes Park (Larimer) in the afternoon. We drove up to Medicine Bow Curve and found one White-tailed Ptarmigan. Rosy Finches escaped us at Lava Cliffs and Rock Cut pullovers.
We returned to Estes Park and hiked up the Cow Creek Trail. A Williamson's Sapsucker was found just north of the cabins. A male American Three-toed Woodpecker drummed north of the trail near the stairs (about 0.7 miles west of the trailhead).
At dusk, a Northern Pygmy-Owl was heard west of the Three-toed Woodpecker sighting. We continued along the trail and over the Cow Creek trail. Regrettably, no Flammulated Owls were located.
Another Northern Pygmy-Owl was found at a cabin of a friend who lives south of the YMCA of the Rockies.
At our final stop, back in the Rocky Mountain National Park, a Boreal Owl was found (heard) when we walked the Hidden Valley Road!
