Richard Stevens:
High temperature reached 34 degrees. Winds were strong all day at 24-25 mph with gusts into the 30s mph.
I spent a long day at Bonny Reservoir Wildlife Area.
Two Eastern Screech-Owls called along the Republican River several hundred yards east of Highway 385.
Five Greater Prairie-Chickens were north of Yuma County Road 3 and east of Highway 385.
Other highlights included a Northern Cardinal at Fosters Grove. Two Long-eared Owls in the windbreak. Seven Wild Turkeys walked along CR 3, west of Fosters Grove.
Another Red-bellied Woodpecker was along the gated road along the south side of "Bonny Reservoir".
Yet another Red-bellied Woodpecker and six Eastern Bluebirds were spotted back at Hale Ponds. A covey of eight+ Northern Bobwhite scattered from a Bushtit at the northeast corner of Hale Ponds.
Misses: no Winter Wrens, Northern Saw-whet Owls, Harris's & White-throated Sparrows or Barn Owls were found this trip.
Another Eastern Screech-Owl called at sunset at Hale Ponds.
