Richard Stevens:
High temperature today was 30 degrees. Winds were 16-18 mph most of the day.
In the morning, I went over to Barr Lake (Adams County) to search for the Pacific Loon reported yesterday by Ira Sanders. The loon was swimming at the northern-center of the Lake.
A lingering Lesser Black-backed Gull stood on the east side of the banding station peninsula.
Later Rebecca and I drove the DIA Owl Loop in search of flocks of Horned Larks and owls. A Snow Bunting all by itself surprised us. First observed south of 112th Avenue where it crosses W. Cargo Road and parallels 114th Avenue. The Snow Bunting then flew south along and west of Gun Club Road.
We sat at Gun Club Road south of 104th avenue and saw a Short-eared Owl flying over the field to the southeast! It was quite an enjoyable drive in the snowstorm!
