NE Colorado birding yesterday

[Norm Erthal]

Kathy Mihm-Dunning and I birded in northeast Colorado. The weather was better than in Denver but certainly unusual. It started at 37 and climbed to 46 during the day. With little wind and no rain, birding was not uncomfortable since we were dressed well. For people who know me, I did wear a coat and gloves.
