Richard Stevens:
Terry Michaels and I continued our search for Snowy Owls. Temperatures rose to a "warm" 46 degrees. Winds were 10 mph with gusts to 17 mph.
A stop at Aurora Reservoir (Arapahoe) found the usual birds: two White-winged Scoters, three Long-tailed Ducks, two Iceland Gulls, four Lesser Black-backed Gulls and two Greater Scaup.
The Arapahoe Snowy Owl was not found as we drove around for several hours. An update text message stated that the Messex Snowy Owl (Washington) was relocated the last two days; we headed up that way.
Another three or four hours search for the Messex Snowy Owl came up empty. We did hear an Eastern Screech-Owl at Prewitt Reservoir (Logan/Washington).
