[cobirds] Random stuff on the move, Boulder County, July 2-4

2011-07-04 Thread Ted Floyd

2011-07-04 Thread Mark Miller
Hi everyone-- This weekend I went to Durango to explore some new areas for me. On Sunday 7/3, I spent the morning along Junction Creek from the campground up to Animas Overlook. The campground had more people than birds, but it was great to see an Abert's Squirrel there. This one was gray with a
