Grandeur Peak Area List
Beginning at 8:59 a.m., I hiked a few hundred feet up a mountain.
As forecast, it rained this early morning. Not a lot, but enough to make things good and damp for a while. And up in the peaks—snow.
Lovely skies, but quiet birding. Still, what I did see and hear gave me pleasure. And a couple of halfway decent photos. Most fun were a bunch of juncos, another Mountain Chickadee, a couple yellow-rumps, and three White-crowned Sparrows (an adult and two juvies).
All will be dry again in the morning, but it seems a coldish snap has taken hold. Looking forward to tomorrow.
