10-2-19 - (Day 70 - Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area/Quivira NWR)

It was a dreary, rainy, day with the temps in the mid 50's.  Another day of riding in the truck.  Although, the dirt roads we traveled on are not for the Asphalt Queen.

We checked out Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area.  It has an auto tour around the marsh and lakes.  It had an abundance of Coots and Great Blue Herons, as well as a lot of other shore birds.

We went back to Quivira NWR to check out the prairie dog town looking for badgers and burrowing owls.  We found plenty of prairie dogs, but no badgers or owls.  At least the little fellows didn't have to worry about being badger dinner while we were there.

We went back through the Quivira Wildlife Auto tour and saw some of the same birds that we saw yesterday, along with a Bobwhite and a Pheasant that we didn't see yesterday.

The American Kestrels were plentiful today.

We made a stop in town to fuel up and plan to make another southeastern relocation tomorrow.
