Hi all

We did the Pawnee Buttes CBC count yesterday (instead of this Friday) due to inclement weather approaching Fri-Sun and not so friendly bird winds projected on Friday. Weather was great yesterday, sunny, winds only 3-10 mph and a might chilly to start 12 degrees warming to upper 20s as hours passed. Species and count # totals similar to first run of circle last year.

Species counted:
  • Northern Harrier
  • Golden Eagle
  • American Kestrel
  • Common Raven
  • Rough-legged Hawk
  • Prairie Falcon
  • Horned Lark
  • Lapland Longspur
  • Sharp-tailed Grouse (7)
  • Townsend's Solitaire
  • Red-tailed Hawk
  • Eurasian-collared Dove
  • American Tree Sparrow
  • Merlin
  • Rock Pigeon
  • Unid buteo
  • House Sparrow
  • European Starling
