Dickcissels, Larimer County, northwest of Wellington

[Matt Webb]

Hey all, On Thursday, 6/21 I drove back to Fort Collins from Wyoming, and decided to take the Owl Canyon road off highway 287.  At County Road 19 (North Taft Hill) and County Road 70 (Owl Canyon Road)  There were several singing male Dickcissels atop shrubs on the southeast side of this intersection.  This is the same place I found them around this time last year.  Chances are good that they will still be at this site in the future if anyone wants to go find them.  I passed by around 6PM.

Good birding!

There are two others that were singing just east of the Golden Eagle nest on north--they were present last year, too. 

Looks like the Wellington SWA had a lightning strike fire last night, large burn on south in between LCR 3 and LCR 5--"Nunn Road" (aka LCR 64 and WCR 100) was blocked this morning.

For you "burn" lovers--I saw a map in the Nunn Post Office showing WCR 59/100 SW corner had a prescribed burn this year, I haven't checked it yet.

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
