Week 11: March 11 - March 17

March is the snowiest month in Colorado and it is easy to see in my selection of pictures.  Some years seem like the snow never quits!  Birds are making a comeback, though, with red-winged blackbirds and black-capped chickadees staking out their nesting grounds. Great horned owls are already nesting!  Moose come down from the high country in search of fresh willow buds, deer try to ride out the storms, and bobcats and mountain lions are still plentiful in our neighborhood.  Usually, the dandelions are in full bloom!
