Richard Stevens:
High temperature was 91 degrees. Winds were 9-10 mph with gusts to 17 mph.
Rebecca and I left early in the morning before the heat arrived. A possible third day in a row record high was expected.
We enjoyed the morning with a hike around Banner Lakes Wildlife Area (Weld County).
We at the southern lakes of the Wildlife Area we found several nice birds. A Cassin's Vireo fluttered about pond 3 windbreak. The highlight was a sparrow that gave us fits for over half an hour. It turned out to be a Cassin's Sparrow!
The only owls found today were a Great Horned Owl near Pond 8 (northern ponds). We did not relocate the Pectoral Sandpiper reported yesterday by Ben Sampson.
Friends Bob and Dale provided a fantastic barbecue for our dinner!
