Hi All,
The National Monument was wonderful but the main reason we came to this area was to visit Laura & Doug Johnston, friends from Grand Teton. We had a great socially distant visit, dinner and opportunity to catch up.
They recommended Horse Thief Canyon for a flat, bird hike the next day. The cottonwoods were stunning along the river, birds were plentiful
and we even got a "life bird" -Woodhouse's scrub jay (not our photo).
We were pretty sure it was a western scrub jay but when we looked it up, we learned that in 2016 that species was split into California and Woodhouse's scrub jay!
When checking into campgrounds, we always check the local information in brochure racks. This was an interesting find
We left western Colorado on Wednesday and headed to the eastern edge of the state. It was a one night stopover and we barely left the coach but some local wildlife came to say Hi!
We had planned to go to New Mexico next but spiking Covid cases there and a statewide 14 day quarantine for anyone coming in from out of state, made us decide on Kansas instead. Thursday we drove to Pratt, KS near a couple of great birding spots.
Here's today's funny sign.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
