We did the same yesterday afternoon. Spotted thousands of snow and Canada-type geese on the lake, with 5 bald eagles in trees along the edge. Eagles, one at a time, would occasionall strafe the geese, but no collateral damage occurred. Numerous rough-legged hawks, one ferruginous, one prairie falcon and several kestrels seen along the road from FC to Sterling. As we approached upper campground at N Sterling Reservoir we disturbed a mature northern harrier sitting on a low fence post from about 20' away. But alas, now snowy owl. Beautiful, but gray day for a ride to NE Colorado, and to a spot neither Joel nor I had ever been to. It's often not about the destination, but the journey...

Birder's,
I also spent several hours in Logan county yesterday afternoon searching for the SNOW within the State Park and along several roads in the surrounding vicinity without finding the bird. Hopefully someone will rediscover the owl wherever it is at.
Merry Christmas,
