Slow Day In Eastern Arapahoe County

Hello birders,

Richmil Ranch Open Space, an Arapahoe County park had few birds today.  A dozen European Starlings, half a dozen Western Meadowlarks, not even an Eastern Meadowlark, and six Dark-eyed Juncos were the list.

My highlight was getting a quick look at the resident Eastern Screech-Owl.  At least one has been around for the past three years!

Migration has not reached the area yet.  Last year Western Kingbirds, Cassin's Kingbirds and Northern Mockingbirds nested in the area.

The slow day continued along the eastern Arapahoe County loop.  There was not much to report.

Barr Lake State Park in Adams County was not much better.  The Barn Owls were not around.  The Osprey have not shown up yet.
