Richard Stevens:
Terry Michaels and I headed out on a two-day search for the Snowy Owl found near Riverside Park, Fort Morgan on 11/25. We covered much territory in two days from I70 to Hwy 14 (Weld) and Riverside Reservoir (Morgan) to Washington County. We could not relocate it.
During our trek highlights included:
11/27:
Lapland Longspur flock (14 birds) along Weld CR 105, north of Jackson Reservoir.
Eastern Bluebirds at Fort Morgan Ponds (Morgan)
Greater White-fronted Goose at Riverside Park, no Snowy Owl.
Long-eared Owl (2) at Jackson Reservoir while walking around with our NVG7-3P Night Vision glasses at 10:00 pm!
Eastern Screech-Owl at Jackson Reservoir (after midnight)
11/28:
Heard Long-eared Owls whining during the night!
We observed two Long-eared Owls south of Pelican Campgrounds early in the morning.
Swamp Sparrow in Jackson Reservoir marsh.
White-throated Sparrow south of Pelican Campgrounds wooden fence.
No Snowy Owl Riverside Reservoir
