I went for a hike to Chautauqua with a bunch of people from CU-International. It was a good chance to get out and get a bit closer to the mountains. The trail led to the first or second of the Flatirons (I cannot remember which) and I realized that I'm one out of shape birdwatcher! But it was tremendous fun of course. Saw a pair of birds that looked like Steller's Jay. I have been doing some googling for bird names. Earlier last week I was at
Boulder Creek and saw Northern Flicker, Yellow Warbler (I think) and House Finches. I really need to buy a field guide.
We also saw this chipmunk on the trail who was unafraid of humans.
