DIA Owl Loop in Snowstorm

October 29, 2019

Richard Stevens:

High temperature was 17 degrees today. Winds were 15-16 mph with gusts to 22 mph.

It snowed most of the day.  I drove the DIA Owl Loop (Adams/Denver) in the afternoon searching for Horned Larks, Snow Buntings, longspurs and Short-eared Owls.

A few flocks of Horned Larks contained perhaps 150 birds.  No uncommon birds were among them.  Roads were bad enough to discourage a trip into the city.

No Short-eared Owls appeared as I sat at the 88th avenue Bridge over 470 toll road.
