We had a first for the bird walks today - we went into the ditch! Yes, never before in the last 25 years have we gotten stuck in the snow. I pulled the car over too far along the dirt road around Boulder Reservoir to scan for birds. When we started back up, the car was sucked into the ditch. We weren't there too long thanks to some runners that helped push us out. Check out the slide show to see images of our snowy "walk". View our Saturday, February 1, 2014 Bird Walk SLIDE SHOW
