Fountain Creek Regional Park and Adams Open Space 4/30/16

78 runtotal  It was actually pretty nice out when we started out.  Around 11-ish it got quite nippy with the high winds but when we went over to Adams the terrain protected us from the wind making it much more comfortable.

I think these are leopard frogs?  They were very noisy but we couldn't see them.

We also saw black-tailed Jack rabbit, and some kind of voles and ground squirrels

Rock Wren

Voles (?) had tunneled in the snow before it melted
