Five birders in four cars drove county roads east of Pueblo this morning, looking for Snowy Owls and other raptors and other birds. We didn't see any Snowy Owls, though two Peregrine Falcons (Leon Bright and I both saw one, different birds), Merlin, Bald and Golden Eagles, Ferruginous Hawks (both light and dark ones), Red-tailed Hawks, American Kestrels, and both species of shrikes were seen. One party saw some Snow Geese in the far eastern part of the county, flying east toward Otero County.
I stopped by Roselawn Cemetery in Blende for a quick look, and saw Red-breasted Nuthatch, Brown Creeper, and Mountain Chickadee. This location is a good spot for Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in the winter, though I didn't see one today, and haven't heard of one there this winter so far.
