Richard Stevens:
It was much cooler today with a high of 82 degrees. Winds were 8-9 mph most of the day. Winds did reach 22 mph when a thunderstorm blew in around 5:00 pm.
Rebecca and I decided to drive the gravel roads in eastern Arapahoe County. Few birds moved about in spite of the cooler temperatures.
At least one Cassin's Kingbird continues at Richmil Ranch Open Space. Both Western Kingbirds and Eastern Kingbirds were also there.
East Bijou Creek at Arapahoe County 38 had few birds. Two House Wrens chased each other around.
Instead of continuing southwest, we turned north into Adams County. One of the Burrowing Owls is still along 160th Avenue. Burrowing Owls appear to be uncommon this summer. On the other hand, perhaps I have not been searching the correct areas?
Two Loggerhead Shrikes were also observed along 160th Avenue west of Bradbury-Krebs Road. Not much else was encountered. No Mountain Plovers were found as we checked previously reported locations.
