Ouray National Wildlife Refuge
General Waterbird Survey

I saw a flock of black rosy-finches today.  Not a species seen very often
here.  But it has been an unusual year.  We haven't been above zero for
over a week and we have snow too.  Even the abundance of raptors have moved
on - though there are still barn owls in the area.  Saw one near the Refuge
last week.  The following birds were seen within the survey route:

Canada geese    270
Bald eagle   3
Red-tailed hawk   4
Northern harrier   1
Prairie falcon    1
