Sunny weather, low wind and cold temps.  There are about a ~dozen observers.  Total of 28 species by my count.
Highlights include:
  • Short-eared Owl - Hwy 85/Weld CR 114 about .5m east in south field (Mark A on way in, "somehow" I missed it in front of Mark A)
  • Eastern Bluebird (4) -- Dover Reservoir (private) at Hwy 85/Weld CR 108 (Scott R group)
  • Hermit Thrush -- Dover Reservoir (private) at Hwy 85/Weld CR 108 (Scott R group)

Nice to have:

  • Long-eared Owl (4-5) -- Dover Reservoir (private) at Hwy 85/Weld CR 108 (Scott R group)
  • Lapland Longspur (2) -- Weld CR 114 about .5m east of Weld CR 37 near residence on south (me and Mark A)
  • Townsend's Solitaire (2) --ARS Bldg on Weld 37 north of Weld CR 114 ()
