Jumbo Reservoir

August 1, 2019

Richard Stevens:

A high temperature of 76 degrees was a nice surprise today.  Wind speeds of 4-5 mph added to the pleasurable day. Late evening thunderstorms brought with them gusts of 21 mph.

Our birding comprised of a slow drive around Jumbo Reservoir (Logan/Sedgwick).  Nothing uncommon was on the lake and few birds moved around.

The highlight was a calling Great Crested Flycatcher in the cottonwoods northwest of the northern Campgrounds.  The tree was on private property; we caught glimpses of the bird however no photos.

We searched for the pair of Eastern Screech-Owls that have been in the same area for half a dozen years.  There was no sign of the owls today.
