Sundance Trail CMSP 2/18/13 and kitty

The Sundance Trail at Cheyenne Mountain State Park is the main lower-elevation loop trail and easy terrain. It is predominantly scrub oak and grass land next to foothills.  Great for easy biking.  Can be hot as a lot of it is not highly shaded.  A few parts of it are rather close to the highway so that you can sometimes hear/see cars on the road.  Good Prairie Dog and rabbit habitat.  But even Mountain Lions come down here, so you always should be careful in this park.  Admission is $7, but the security of the lot - like someone will notice if you don't return to your car at the end of the day - is kind of nice.

Great Backyard Bird Count Weekend - Pinello Ranch


"Best" bird of the day for me was the 2-yr Bald Eagle above that was at the ranch first thing in the morning.  Lots of good raptors - 3 red-tail hawks including a dark morph, a few kestrels, a Northern Harrier, Cooper's Hawk, and Sharp-shinned Hawk.  Northern Shrike, pretty much all the expected water fowl and regular winter birds.
