Richard Stevens:
Spent most of the day doing chores but found time to drive over to Rocky Mountain Arsenal (Adams County) in the afternoon. Temperatures were around 89 degrees at 4:00 pm. Winds were 6-7 mph.
I parked just west of Second Creek & 64th Avenue for two hours. At 5:30 pm, the adult Red-headed Woodpecker came to the large cottonwood that is between Second Creek and the grove of dead trees to the west.
Later I walked around the canopy of trees north of 64th Avenue and Chambers Road. The Yellow-billed Cuckoo that Rebecca and I found on Wednesday could not be relocated. The Red-headed Woodpecker found Wednesday just north of the grove was also absent.
I did not drive into the wildlife area that is a one way drive, instead went over to the First Creek Trail (outside the eastern side of the Arsenal).
The adult and five young Barn Owls are still there. I did not detect their advancing age (from my visit of four days ago).
A Great Horned Owl called from the cottonwoods between the First Creek Trail and the parking area at 56th Avenue & Buckley Road.
