On Friday night, at private property, in northern Fremont County off Shelf Rd, at ~7:30pm, I had a calling Northern Saw-whet Owl for about 2 minutes. Did not hear it Saturday night at same location; whilst camping.
We had 25 species in all during the campout. Highlights were: . A pair of adult Golden Eagles; have nested nearby on cliff in the past. I was not present at this site all summer to know if they nested this year. . A Kestrel and several Northern Flickers hunting the climbing cliffs; antagonizing and chasing each other it seemed. . Townsend's Solitaires singing everywhere. . Clark's Nutcrackers present all weekend.
