My mother thinks that March means spring, but as a many-year resident of Colorado, I know there can be months of cold and snow to come. On this beautiful spring day, the birds were out and the chipmunks emerged! How exciting!   It is fairly rare to see Black-capped Chickadees at RMNP, but they do occasionally appear. Their crisp call is so distinctive. Here is one digging into a branch to find a treat. The Red-crossbills have been active since last summer, but on this day the sky was blue and I was able to get a great photo of this male. Isn't that beak amazing?!      I love the morning after a snow because you can see who was out the night before. On this morning, I had seen bobcat, coyote, rabbit and mouse tracks. When I came upon this masterpiece, though, I stopped in my tracks. Here is what a vole did overnight. What a journey!  |
