Yesterday afternoon, 28 Dec, I got a call at work. It was a co-worker, who
is also a birder, that was driving back to Colorado Springs, from her
vacation in Wisconsin. While her and her family were on I-70, between Genoa

cottonwood after very brief glimpses earlier, in the same small open space on
Mirada Road opposite the Broadmoor CC in COLO Spgs

the Platte, south of 58th and York.

Prospect. When three people (not me) walked towards it for photos, it did head
to the north side of Prospect, and then up Summit to a tree in a homeowner's
front yard. Although it doesn't seem to mind cars, it is skittish a
The snowy owl was present again today. Many people saw it at about 4 PM on
a house at 99th Pl and Independence DR, which is accessible from 100th AV.
This was a little east of the High School the bird was at yesterday. The
