Littleton and Southwestern Metro Area

March 9, 2018

Richard Stevens:

Temperatures reached 63 degrees. Winds were 7 mph with gusts to 23 mph in the afternoon.  One gust was measured at 31 mph.

Rebecca and I had business in Littleton and made a couple of nearby stops.  The Brant was on the lake in Ketring Park.  The Eastern Screech-Owl was sticking his head out of his favorite tree.

I had to circle Lower Ridgewood Park twice before finding the Eastern Phoebe.  It was along the canal and gravel road southwest of the ball field.  The Hermit Thrush reported a few days earlier was not found.

We could not get home in any good time with Denver's Friday traffic, instead headed south.  Nothing uncommon was on South Platte Park Reservoir (Arapahoe/Jefferson).  The Yellow-billed Loon was relocated from the heronry overlook.  The previously reported Red-necked Grebe was not found.
