Sedgwick County

February 21, 2009

Bryan Ehlmann:

Roger Danka, Richard Stevens and I watched a Greater Prairie-Chicken lek in Sedgwick County before sunrise. No chickens are coming to the lek yet.

We rested much of the day, great barbecue by Mrs. Danka! We did see 2 Eastern Screech-Owls, a Harris's Sparrow, and 2 White-throated Sparrows on Roger's ranch. A visit to his neighbor's ranch found 4-6 Long-eared Owls.

At sunset, we watched for Short-eared Owls at the southeast corner of Jumbo Reservoir. No owls came by.
