[cobirds] Western Lincoln County, 5/1

Impatient for birding and herping, I took a late afternoon/early evening trip out on back roads in Lincoln County this afternoon.

Of note:
-FOS Vesper Sparrows, in groups of 8-10.
-a dead Peregrine Falcon. It was next to a Quonset hut with numerous Rock Pigeons inside, so my guess is it misjudged a dive and hit the building.
-a sizable colony of Burrowing Owls, at least 8 seen in a fairly quick scan.
-a Golden Eagle
-FOS House Wren.

Of non-avian note: an unusually grumpy Prairie Rattlesnake.
