[cobirds] Night birding Pueblo County late 4/27 & early 4/28

Gene Rutherford and I did some night time birding late yesterday and early this morning.

Up in the Wet Mountains, near Beulah, we heard 6 Flammulated Owls, 6 Common Poorwills, 1 or 2 Long-eared Owls.  These were heard on 4/27 (after 10pm).  We didn't hear or see any Northern Saw-whet Owls, which seemed surprising.

Then we checked marshy areas in the eastern part of Pueblo County, and had two or three calling Black Rails, a Sora, a Virginia Rail, a singing Marsh Wren (not a usual breeding bird in Pueblo County), and several Great Horned Owls (these were before 3am).
