Terry and I (Richard) drove south of highway 50 down highway 149 and Sapinero Mesa. Highlight was a Gunnison Sage-Grouse on the side of Gunnison CR 26 near the Cutoff, west of Indian Creek.
The BLM land at Sapinero Mesa added three American Three-toed Woodpeckers and a pair of Williamson's Sapsuckers. A Grace's Warbler was observed near the Cutoff.
We walked around Gateview at CR 25 and were rewarded with Black-throated Gray Warblers and another American Three-toed Woodpecker.
