Dear CoBirders,
Pam Wickerd, Roger Sleeper, Eric Defonso and I took a morning trip out
HWY 14 from Fort Collins to Briggsdale/Crow Valley. A few highlights from
the trip were as follows:
Mountain Plover ~ two merging flocks totaling about 20 individuals on the SE
corner of HWY 14 and WCR 51 approx. 6:30am
Burrowing Owl ~ one on the NE corner of HWY 15 & WCR 51
Golden Eagle ~ 4 from HWY 14 & WCR 51 to Crow Valley and back down WCR 96
McCown's Longspur ~ 15-20 on Murphy's Pasture road & 3 more WCR 57 at 104(?)
Turkey Vulture & Ferrug. Hawk ~ one each at HWY 14 & WCR 69
Rough-legged Hawk ~ one lingering on Murphy's Pasture road
Mountain Bluebird ~ one male in the cedar trees at HWY 14 & WCR 69
We looked for a long-eared owl at Crow Valley but found a Great Horned
instead.
Good birding!
Jessica
