Yesterday, my wife Lisa and I along with John Stump took a run at the big day record for the San Luis Valley. The challenge is to document/observe as many species in one day as possible within the San Luis Valley. The previous record from 2006 was 143 species. Yesterday, we set a new high count with 153 species! Highlites included Orchard Oriole, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Northern Waterthrush, Bobolink, Black Terns, Sanderlings, Flammulated Owl, Saw-whet Owl, Mountain Plover, Black-throated Gray Warbler, and Gray Catbird. We finished at 11:00 pm after going and finding owls. What a day.....
