Search for Wet Playas in Eastern Arapahoe County

March 27, 2018

Terry Michaels and I decided to search for wet playas in eastern Arapahoe County.  Any location that might attract shorebirds in the near future would have been nice to know.  Unfortunately, none was found.

A search of spots where Northern Mockingbirds, Grasshopper Sparrows and Kingbirds nested last summer came up empty today.  We did observe our first Western Kingbird of 2018 along Arapahoe CR 42, 0.2 miles east of CR 161.

Temperatures only reached 46 degrees today.  However, winds at 4-5 mph kept the wind chill down.
