Greetings-
I was at Cherry Creek this afternoon and was astounded to see a male barn owl
foraging in the fields adjacent to the main park road. A barn owl anywhere on
the front range in February seems very unusual so I thought I'd post it. It
was in flight for at least 20 minutes between
Sorry to make an error in my first-ever posting, but we definitely did not see
a broad-winged hawk at Jumbo reservoir yesterday, just rough-legged hawks.
Don't waste gasoline to see a rarity that is only an error.

I seem to remember that the requirement for a Habitat Stamp was dropped for

Then I also remember that others require some type of stamp or pass, (perhaps
Prewitt Res?)
Would someone in the know please enlighten me?
I do have a lifetime pass for the

Hello, Birders.
So...for the past few days, I've been engaged w/Steve Mlodinow and Tony
Leukering in on-again/off-again conversations about black-lored White-crowned
Sparrows.
And then, this afternoon, Monday, Feb. 20th, what should show up in the
sparrow swale at Greenlee Preserve, Boulder
A small group of birders saw the immature Snowy Owl along 138th Ave about 0.25
mile west of Harvest Road today. We searched for the adult, but didn't see it
in the hour or so that we were in the area.

Warning- you'll note I said 7 kinds (not species) of gulls… ;-)
My dad Jim I enjoyed the sunny President's Day despite some harsh winds
today. We birded in Boulder Broomfield Counties, with most of our highlights
at Anthem Ponds, Broomfield County (off HWY 7 Lowell.) We were a Brant short
In all my years birding at Cherry Creek (since 1974), I have had only one
barn owl. This was at the far woodland edge of the large meadow just to the
west of the main road, on the east/southeast side of where Cherry Creek
