My girlfriend and I headed up to Allenspark this morning at around 9

I am heading down to try for the snowy owl tomorrow. I am leaving my
house in Loveland at 8:00 AM, picking my sister up 2 miles off I-25
in Broomfield.
I have room for 2 folks to join me if you'd like to try. Email me
tonight. I'll get back to you by 10:30 as I'm heading out for a
class.

this past weekend to the Valmont Reservoir complex, Boulder County. Lonny Frye
will like the article's title: "Gullapalooza at Valmont power plant in Boulder

Hawk in Windsor. It was behaving as previously described, moving
from tree to tree about every 1-2 minutes, in the same location as
previously described, all around the meadow with the bench at Kodak

Mary Keithler, Dave Hill, Lois Levinson, and Harriet Stratton report seeing the
Snowy Owl, but not well. At this time -- 12:30 p.m. -- it's quite hard to see.
They called to suggest posting this not-very-encouraging report on its
whereabouts because it's quite hard to find and people cruising th
The Colorado Springs/Pueblo local ABC Station mentioned the Snowy Owl the other
