Terry Michaels and I drove to Banner Lakes Wildlife Area (Weld) this morning. The section north of highway 52 is closed until July 15. I watched Terry walk along the eastern side of Ponds 4 & 5 and return by way of the windbreak along the entrance road. He found a Long-eared Owl about 1/3 way (south) up the windbreak.
Later we drove to the ranger's office/home to clarify some access rules. Regrettably no one was home. A quick stop on the way out, allowed me to get a glimpse of the Long-eared Owl.
We checked on two Burrowing Owl locations and two Mountain Plover locations; none was found.
Two Long-eared Owls were relocated on a friend's nearby ranch (Weld).
