Eager to get in some road herping on what was forecast to be a warm Spring day I piled the kids in the car and headed for northeastern Pueblo County. My timing was off and we were just hitting "snake temperature," when we started for home.
Avian highlights: I watched a Greater Roadrunner catch a Lesser Earless Lizard and got good photos. At least six Burrowing Owls, of which I only got terrible photos. FOS Swainson's Hawk near the Nixon Power Plant. Golden Eagle. FOS Lark Sparrows. Curve-billed Thrasher. Ladder-backed Woodpeckers. Say's Phoebe. FOS Western Kingbirds and a lone Eastern Kingbird. American Kestrel with a small snake, almost certainly a young-of-2019 Western Hognose given the size and shape. Prairie Falcon.
