On this Saturday before elections, it may comfort you to know that many of the birds we saw were on the fence and up in the air. We still have great fall color around, but much of it is in the grasses rather than the leaves now. Watch the slide show to view a very interesting track we found. I think it might be an otter track so if any of you have an opinion I would love to hear from you. WBCBoulderCO@aol.com. Thanks.
