Barr Lake

We were fortunate to be able to attend another bird banding at Barr Lake. This time Andrew was able to join us. He loved it and was also able to hold a bird after they were done banding.

Our instructor who is a wealth of knowledge on birds

This week we saw lots of sparrows that are migrating through

In this picture you can see the small band she is holding that is placed on their leg.

Here she is blowing on their bellies to see how much fat they have. If they don’t have any they are usually native to Barr Lake. If they show signs of fat then they are packing up for a journey south. Birds only carry fat when migrating.

Happy October!

Piper and daddy went to L.A. for a quick trip and had a great time seeing everyone. One of Piper’s highlights was seeing her best friend Francesca.

Leaf Peeping at Golden Gate Canyon

Unfortunately Fall never lasts long out here. And this could be the last of the leaf peeping for the season because a cold front is moving in Wednesday that could knock all the leaves down.

Today was a gorgeous day at Golden Gate Canyon on the Horseshoe Trail. The leaves seemed to be at their peak.

Rutherford Trail in Georgetown

Andrew had the day off of school so we did some leaf peeping in Georgetown. We found a great trail that was very quiet. The trail was a steep climb to the top but easy peasy coming down.
