Bird of the Year (so far, at least for January)

January 25, 2013

Richard Stevens:

When we arrived back in Denver around 3:00 pm, I read a report of a Snowy Owl northeast of Barr Lake (Adams County).  It was last seen at 25,600 160th Avenue (first at Powhaton & 160th).

Rebecca and I drove 160th and nearby roads until sunset.  Shortly after sunset, our efforts paid off.  The Snowy Owl was about 1/4 to 1/2 mile south of 160th Avenue (across from mailbox, 27705).

Over the next two days, it would not be relocated by us (total hours: 9; many miles driving and scoping the fields).

By the way, earlier in the day, Sean Reese and I had drove the roads around Yuma County Road 45 unsuccessfully searching for Greater Prairie-Chickens.
