Hello birders,
Beautiful snowscape at Walden and Sawhill Ponds this cloudy and cold afternoon. Some smart visitors wore snowshoes, others cross country skis, I made do in hiking boots. The marsh had that unusual quiet after snowfall, muffled and peaceful. The scenery was completely monochromatic—a distant Tundra Swan blended into the black, white, and gray scenery. Also present were nine other species of waterfowl, a Blue Jay, Northern Flicker, two Black-capped Chickadees, and a Prairie Falcon. At the usual location I thought I briefly heard a whispering Winter Wren, but not sure, couldn’t find it after that, maybe wishful thinking. Before it all melts, “Come see the north wind’s masonry….the frolic architecture of the snow.” Five pics: http://bit.ly/1aRaF95 Best, Tom Wilberding Boulder County -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
