Colorado Springs Christmas Bird Count 12/17/16
0 degrees, below zero windchill and blowing snow the whole time - my winter gear did the job of keeping warm - balaclava and hunter's gloves did great. Snow boots hurt my feet though. Camera was freezing up, binoculars were icing over. Only got a few photos, and Tanja sent me a few of hers as well. 30+ species - not bad considering the weather!
 |
| The nicest weather was when we started. |

Two bald eagles were sitting at Willow Springs ponds - which were not frozen.
