Richard Stevens:
High today was 45 degrees. Winds were 4-5 mph with afternoon gusts to 12 mph.
Terry Michaels and I heard a Long-eared Owl and Eastern Screech-Owl while we camped at Jackson Reservoir (Morgan) this morning.
Again, most of the day was spent searching for the reported Snowy Owl. Our search today extended north to hwy 14 and then west to Kersey. That was in addition to driving most of the gravel roads north of Riverside and Jackson Reservoirs east to Weldona and west to Kersey.
Five Lapland Longspurs were found along the trek. A Merlin was found near Weld CR 93 and CR 80. Raptors included Red-tailed Hawks, one Ferruginous Hawk, two Rough-legged Hawks, half a dozen American Kestrels and a Great Horned Owl.
