A Short Drive Around Adams County

April 15, 2012

Richard Stevens:

While out doing chores, we passed Star K Ranch Open Space (Adams County) and of course had to stop. Both Harris's Sparrows visited the below the southern feeders (photos on Colorado Birding Society's photo library: http://coloradobirdingsociety.net16.net).

We searched the DIA Owl Loop for longspurs or possible Lark Buntings (Colorado State Bird). Neither species was found.

Two Burrowing Owls stood on the prairie dog mounds at the Village (3.4 miles east of Tower Road and 96th avenue).

No hawks or Short-eared Owls were found.
