I was at the Poudre River and ponds west of 35th Avenue in Greeley and saw a mute swan, lots of snowy egrets, some gadwalls, a great egret, some terns I could not quite ID for sure, GB herons, several BC night herons and some geese. Nothing spectacular, but an enjoyable walk. Rick Reeser Greeley

It was just the kind of night I had hoped for. A partial moon, sky full of stars, little or no wind, and almost no traffic on Highway 14. And most importantly, I was successful in hearing a boreal owl (a lifer for me) to the west of the parking lot at Cameron Pass. Rick Schroeder Fort Collins
