Hi,
I spent most of yesterday, 1-22, at Rocky Mountain Arsenal. I found Lake Ladora to the partly open in the middle and towards the south east. It hosted the usual winter ducks, nothing out of the ordinary. Lake Mary was frozen over as usual. Rode and Gun Club Pond was dry and so was Lower Derby. I walked along the bushy Woods trail but did not find any sparrow flocks. The wildlife drive produced the most, namely at the point where the road follows some large utility polls, around mile marker 7 of the drive. Three Bald Eagle were circling over head, a Prairie Falcon on a pole and Rough Legged Hawk on another pole down a road I can't drive on. Nearby in a Prairie Dog town was a Ferruginous Hawk, hoping for some Prairie Doge lunch.
One amazing thing, which might be a record for me, was I did not kick up any Western Meadowlarks, during the course of four hours and time walking some of the trails. Not one, not a sound!
Over all, not very productive. If any one wants to visit I would recommend checking out Ladora and taking your time on the Wildlife Drive. Hopefully we get some needed moisture and the ponds/lakes will fill up.
Brian Johnson,
Englewood
