Intense birding this morning - not for the faint of heart. It has been cold for days here in Boulder County. Last week we enjoyed mild temps and open water, but so much has changed since then. The only open water we found this morning was Boulder Reservoir and Left Hand Creek. Look at the fog images from the Reservoir on the slide show.
