Hi all
About two or three years ago the abundant rookery here was thriving 80-100 birds on nests--the following week every one of them were gone mysteriously. The last two years for most part no nesting birds.
Sunday I visited (hoping) and found a Black-crowned Night Heron and a Snowy Egret! Hopefully more to follow. Plenty of Great-tailed Grackle (12+) along Weld CR 48 as well as Wilson's Snipe (6)--here are four together. Along Beebe Draw Swainson's Hawk (6) here is one and one other. I've seen multiple in Nunn-area as well. A pair chased a Great Horned Owl from its roost at Behren's Lake--btw lake is full of water (and waterfowl). Stood atop my car to get a peek at it ... :-)
Burrowing Owl population now up to three along Weld CR 33 (btw 98/100) here is newlywed pair and a current bachelor.
Thanks
Gary Lefko, Nunn
