Richard Stevens:
High temperature today was only 35 degrees. Winds were measured at 7-8 mph with gusts to 28 mph at eastern Arapahoe County.
Return trip to eastern Arapahoe County to see what the snowstorm brought was a disappointment.
The highlight was a Northern Mockingbird just east of the cut hill along CR 42 at 1.7 miles east of CR 161.
Searches for Mountain Plovers, longspurs, Red-headed Woodpeckers and other uncommon birds were unsuccessful.
Later I stopped at Cherry Creek Reservoir. Target bird was Sagebrush Sparrow, which are usually found just after a spring snowstorm. None was found.
I did not look for the Rusty Blackbirds found yesterday.
Again, no owls encountered along the DIA Owl Loop (Adams/Denver).
