Richard Stevens:
Winds were calm most of today in Fort Morgan. We did measure gusts of 22 mph after 4:00 pm.
Dennis & Jean Phillips (Mission Viejo) and I drove to Jackson Reservoir (Morgan County). A Long-eared Owl was a lifebird. We found two of them near the Pelican Campgrounds.
American Robins were the majority bird today. We did relocate two Marbled Godwits on the north shore. A Lesser Black-backed Gull flew by several times.
The best bird however was a male Blackburnian Warbler. It was found below the southwest corner of the dam. We were actually searching for an Eastern Screech-Owl, which was not found.
Forty McCown's Longspurs and two Chestnut-collared Longspurs were found along CR 4, north of Jackson Reservoir.
We continued north in an unsuccessful search for Mountain Plovers in Weld County.
Crow Valley Campground had an Orchard Oriole, Bullock's Orioles, Common Nighthawks, Common Poorwill, Brown Thrasher and House Wrens.
No Short-eared Owls appeared this evening at Lower Latham Reservoir (Weld). We did not entice the Black Rail, if still around, to call.
