Highs only reached the high 80s today. Winds were 3-4 mph with a few gusts to 9 mph.
Roger Danka and I birded Sedgwick Bar Wildlife Area at dawn. We hoped to find an Upland Sandpiper or Eastern Screech-Owl. An Eastern Screech-Owl was one out of two of our target birds.
A male Red-bellied Woodpecker revealed himself by drumming on a cottonwood tree. Two Eastern Bluebirds perched on a nearby telephone wire.
Julesburg Wildlife Area was quiet bird-wise. Nothing uncommon was discovered. The resident Northern Cardinal did not appear this morning.
The Julesburg Wayside Rest Stop had few birds. We managed to relocate Bell's Vireo that fluttered about the willows along the Platte River!
The rapidly heating day ended our birding early.
