Members from the Boulder Bird Club joined us this morning. We had a nice walk with even a few mystery birds that wouldn't show themselves, to keep us coming back. Watch the slideshow from today's walk by clicking on the link below. Thanks to both Neal Zaun and Carolyn Beach for contributing wonderful images from the walk this morning.
