Exploring Banner Lakes Wildlife Area

September 29, 2019

Richard Stevens:

Even warmer today, the high was 89 degrees.  Winds continued to be strong at 16-17 mph with gusts to 29 mph.

I returned to Banner Lakes Wildlife Area this morning.  No Long-eared Owls were encountered at their usual locations north and south of Highway 52.  A Townsend's Warbler flew around the Pond 4 windbreak.

A nearby friend's ranch provided a Long-eared Owl sighting in his windbreak.  We drove to a Prairie Dog Town north of his ranch.  The nesting Burrowing Owls appeared to have departed for parts south.
