COBirders, I noticed two White-throated Swifts over the ponds on Crane Hollow Road this afternoon. Also, four white geese took off from somewhere behind the heron rookery -- as I watched them fly off to the west, I thought they might be Ross's Geese because they were flapping so quickly... I don't have that much experience with goose flight behavior unfortunately.
I stopped by the GHOW nest site in Twin Lakes & met some locals who have been keeping tabs on the owls. The consensus is that there were two owlets raised, although there was only one in the nest today. The other is either fledged & hanging with its parent, or may have fallen prey to the weather. I've posted a photo of the younger owlet here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pgburke/ Good birding, Peter Burke Boulder -- http://www.linkedin.com/pub/peter-burke/5/788/a62 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
