Going to Denver for work gave me a chance to pick up some prairie species. The moment I got to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWF I was greeted with the singing of Western Meadowlarks. They look just like their Eastern counterparts, but they do indeed sound quite different. I was able to get some blurry shots of the burrowing owls, picked up twelve new species. I was hoping to locate a Cassin's Sparrow which would be a new species for me. My Merlin App said it heard one but I didn't see or hear one.
