High temperatures in Aurora were 47 degrees. It was a bit of a change after the middle 60s in Baca and Las Animas Counties last weekend. Winds were 15-16 mph with gusts to 22 mph. Last night winds reached 45 mph! An airplane was blown sideways at DIA airport.
Terry Michaels and I wandered around east of Aurora after a late start.
A Barn Owl and two Long-eared Owls were relocated at Barr Lake (Adams).
We relocated one of the Rusty Blackbirds and the Brown Thrasher around the swim beach pond at Cherry Creek State Park (Arapahoe).
A return to the DIA Owl Loop (Adams/Denver) did not find any Short-eared Owls at sunset. The high winds perhaps discouraged even Short-eared Owls from flying around.
