March 25 Boulder to South Park to Poncha Pass, Colorado
1 littoralis for me. Finally left Boulder at
a little of 1PM & drove to Denver for Dry Ice.
Next drove to South Park & stopped at the 1st ranch
south of Jefferson which is the headquarters of the
South Park Cattle Company (#2 location of my
Jan-Feb Colorado trip). I saw 1 atrata in the
corals so I ran & got my gun. When I returned
it was gone. Instead I saw & collected 4 tephracolis,
1 australis, & 1 littoralis between 5PM & 5:30 PM. I
talked to the manager of the company for awhile
about rebellious college students, politics & the local
cattle feeds in South Park & then drove on to
location 3 where I collected 4 tephracolis by shooting
down cliff swallow nests inside a barn. Data below:
Time T.B.
8:05 PM 36.2°C

8:43 34.2
8:50 37.2
I again visited barn 3A & found 3 rosy finches
roosting as well as a few Starlings (less than on the
previous visit on March 22). Data follows:
Time T.B race
