June 3, 2018
High temperature was 83 degrees. Winds were 6-7 mph with gusts to 16 mph.
Terry Michaels drove north to the Pawnee National Grasslands area to visit a friend's ranch. He has had a Northern Saw-whet Owl in his windbreak for the past three days. Fortunately it was still day when we arrived.
A drive along Weld County Road 100, west of Hwy 392 added another Mountain Plover, a Burrowing Owl, and Chestnut-collared Longspur to our day list.
Crow Valley Campground was slow. Best bird was a Veery. Other birds around included Common Nighthawk, Brown Thrashers, Orchard Oriole, and Bullock's Orioles.
No Short-eared Owls were found around Lower Latham Reservoir. We did not hear the amazing rails that would be found just a few days later.
