John and I drove the DIA Owl loop at about 7 am. - MANY Rough-legged hawks - we never did start counting, but I would say in the area of 10+ - MANY Red-Tailed hawks - 1 Ferruginous Hawk - 1 Northern Harrier eating either a prairie dog or rabbit - several others flying around trying to be so lucky. - 4 Bald Eagles - 2 adults, 2 juveniles - 1 MERLIN on Powhatten "dancing" on top of a telephone pole - not sure what he was doing..but he appeared to be dancing. Was not very skittish either. - One lump of dirt which was trying to disguise itself as an owl, but was, in fact, just a lump of dirt.
A VERY quick drop into Barr gave us a bunch of red-winged blackbirds, house sparrows, a downy woodpecker, one white-crowned sparrow, and another Bald Eagle. 4 Eurasian-Collared Doves on the way out. But since we were dressed for driving the owl loop and not standing outside we left very quickly.
