Sorry for the late post. While mapping a prairie dog colony yesterday, I flushed a bird out of a lovely rabbitbrush stand that the pdog colony is slowly chewing away and destroying. I saw a flash of yellow on the undertail coverts and white on the outer tail. The bird landed close and I got a nice look, very disappointing I didn't have a camera. Pale supercilium, light streaking on the sides/flanks and the tail pump summed it all up. What a nice visitor.
If you leave the Coyote Ridge parking lot and head out on the "trail" to the west you'll pass a long flat section that has a pdog colony on the north and south side of the trail, once the trail starts ascending there's a nice stand of rabbitbrush just to the south. This is where I found the bird. It's typically a busy place. Also, look for the burrowing owl fam. on the south side of trail on the pdog colony.
