 I was up in Frisco, CO this weekend where it was much cooler, but I was still jealous to find out that the walk was on Old St. Vrain Rd. It is definitely one of my favorite June destinations. Thanks to Bill Eeds for leading the walk and to Alison Sheets for once again supplying great images for the Bird of the Day.
