[cobirds] Snowy Egrets Boulder County

Hi all,

My son, Dana, and I took a ride around the northern part of Boulder County this evening.  Highlights were a pair of Snowy Egrets (one juvenile, the second one was too far away and the light too poor to be certain of age) on the West side of Clover Basin Reservoir, and a Screech Owl where St. Vrain Creek crosses 75th, east side in the Cottonwoods.  We also had two Barn Owls flying along St. Vrain Rd.

Others:

3 Great Blue Heron
44 Canada Geese
10 Mallards
1 Bald Eagle
3 Osprey
5 Red-Tailed Hawks
3 Swainson's Hawks
3 Kestrels
5 Killdeer
8 Gull sp.
4 Mourning Doves
2 Collared Doves
2 Nighthawks
2 Downy Woodpeckers
1 Flicker
3 Western Wood Peewees
1 Say's Phoebe
7 Eastern Kingbirds
4 Western Kingbirds
1 Blue Jay
7 Magpies
4 Cliff Swallows
1 Barn Swallow
4 Northern Rough-winged Swallow
2 Chickadees
3 House wrens
10 Robins
50 Starlings
2 Dickcissel
7 Common Yellowthroat
1 Vesper Sparrow
1 Lark Sparrow
4 Meadowlarks
5 Yellow-headed Blackbirds
30 Red-winged Blackbirds
2 Common Grackle

Too many House Sparrows
