Search for Short-eared Owls in Weld County

January 21, 2020

Richard Stevens:

The high was 44 degrees.  Winds were calm to 2 mph.  A few gusts reached 7 mph.

I headed up north toward Lower Latham Reservoir (Weld) today.  The plan was to look for Short-eared Owl near dusk.

A stop at Ken Mitchell Park (Weld) found no uncommon birds.

I found nothing uncommon on Luna Reservoir (Weld).  The previously reported Long-tailed Duck was not found.

The Long-tailed Duck was still swimming around Windsor Lake (Weld).

No Short-eared Owls appeared this evening at Latham Reservoir (Weld).  I did entice a Marsh Wren to pop out of the cattails.
