As always on my way to the L McConaughy CBC, I count "pole raptors" on that glorious stretch of NE CO I76! Sat., on the way up, I counted 42 red-taileds and 10 rough-leggeds, plus one Golden Eagle on a fence post. Mon, on the way back, there were only 33 red-taileds and 8 rough-leggeds. I figured, unscientifically, that they were more hungry on Sat right after the storm!
We beat our L Mac CBC record of 108 with a new record of 109! See Steve Dinsmore's post on NEBirds. Both lakes are nearly full and totally open with the hydro running periodically to push more water downstream to make room for our CO and WY snow of this winter. Great CBC! Kay Kayleen A.
